Digitally remastered 10 CD box set from the Jazz diva containing her complete recordings for the Columbia Records label spanning the years 1933-41. Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia features 230 tracks recorded during her most critically and commercially successful period. When people talk about classic Billie Holiday, they are referring to these absolutely essential recordings. From heartwarming to heartbreaking, it's all here. This box also includes a 72-page booklet with discography, photos and essays by scholar/writer Gary Giddins and Michael Brooks. Sony. 2009.

A jazz lover's dream come true! The tenor saxophonist and vocalist compliment each other in these 16 recordings of their very best vintage sides! Includes Me, Myself and I, Mean to Me, This Year's Kisses , and He's Funny That Way .

Billie Holiday's story is so huge, her artistry so vast, and her impact so incalculable, that even attempting to corral a representative sampling of it within a single collection of recordings is an overwhelming, perhaps foolhardy task. Many have tried, of course, and literally hundreds of options of varying quality and legitimacy, scattered across dozens of labels, are available to the consumer. Neophytes, or those not willing to commit to a gargantuan listening session, can settle for any number of single- or double-CD best-ofs that adequately present Holiday's most important, better-known music.
