Billie Holiday’s recordings for Commodore Records have been overshadowed to a large part by her Verve and Columbia offerings, but this collection recorded in 1944 deserves a place alongside her better known albums. Includes the first version of her first hit and signature song, the racially-charged Strange Fruit.

“… she achieved a perfect, lapidary balance, one that can still guide aspiring singers on how to interpret a song … these sessions provide us with Holiday’s last perky swing romps …”
