Further Details Title: Ken Burns Jazz: Billie Holiday Condition: New Format: CD EAN: 0731454908122 Description: Holiday,Billie Ken Burns Jazz This greatest-hits collection accompanies Ken Burns's 10-part documentary Jazz and shows that though she never practiced the vocal gymnastics of an Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday was unquestionably among the greatest jazz singers, with a subtle inventiveness in phrasing and note choice and a tremendous capacity to swing. This collection covers virtually the entire career of a fascinating and troubled artist, beginning with her sparkling mid-1930s recordings with pianist Teddy Wilson and the cream of swing-era horn players. While those fresh-voiced early records already indicate Holiday's capacity for conveying the nuances of a lyric, her work soon took on greater drama. "Strange Fruit," a 1939 account of a lynching, marked a breakthrough in the popular song, as well as in Holiday's career, and her controlled intensity only becomes more marked on signature songs like the wistful "God Bless the Child" and the moving "Don't Explain." Holiday's voice deteriorated in the later 1950s, but performances like "Fine and Mellow" show that her emotional power and musicality remained intact. --Stuart Broomer Genre: Pop Artist: Billie Holiday No Of Discs: 1 Language: English Release Date: 2000 Record Label: Verve Release Year: 2000 Missing Information?

I've ordered from Rarewaves here in the US and the UK multiple times, and continue to do so. They always seem to have something I can't find anywhere else at all or for a reasonable price. When I purchase used items, they are as described, if not a grade better. Aways a quick turnaround after ordering, every item arrives promptly, professionally packaged. Many orders have free shipping, even for solitary item orders. I never needed a reason to communicate, as I've had no cause. Recommended.
Received item as described and packaged well. Listing indicated shipping was free. Ordered on the 7th but by the 14th noticed it hadn’t been shipped yet. Seller responded quickly saying that during the purchase process that it said it would not be shipped until the 22nd because they use a fulfillment house. I don’t recall seeing anything about delayed shipping during the process or in the listing. While I appreciate the prompt response to my inquiry, other buyers should be aware of delays.
The book was brand still plastic wrapped. Looks exactly like the picture for a reasonable price including shipping. In perfect condition. Shipping was slow and I was worried that I was scammed again. Seller did respond to my message after a day and explained the item would be shipped within a week. The item shipping and tracking was updated by the date they stated. Took about 2 weeks to receive item. I’m usually impressed when item is shipped and received within a week.
