Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble - Steve Futterman
The title of this fine collection of course begs the question: When did Lady Day not swing? Well, let’s put it this way -- these are among the most swinging of Billie Holiday’s many brilliant recordings. Who could argue with the likes of “Them There Eyes,” “What a Little Moonlight Can Do,” “I Hear Music,” and “Miss Brown to You”? These and other memorable performances once again establish Holiday as the most unique and expressive singer that jazz has ever known. Her extraordinary rhythmic sensibility on such classics as “If Dreams Come True,” “Getting Some Fun Out of Life,” and “Swing! Brother, Swing! (recorded with that most swinging of big bands, the Count Basie ...

The title of this fine collection of course begs the question: When did Lady Day not swing? Well, let’s put it this way -- these are among the most swinging of Billie Holiday’s many brilliant recordings. Who could argue with the likes of “Them There Eyes,” “What a Little Moonlight Can Do,” “I Hear Music,” and “Miss Brown to You”? These and other memorable performances once again establish Holiday as the most unique and expressive singer that jazz has ever known. Her extraordinary rhythmic sensibility on such classics as “If Dreams Come True,” “Getting Some Fun Out of Life,” and “Swing! Brother, Swing! (recorded with that most swinging of big bands, the Count Basie Orchestra) is still the envy of every singer who followed in her mighty wake. And her light-handed way with a sophisticated lyric, as in her handling of Cole Porter’s “Let’s Do It” or Jerome Kern's “A Fine Romance,” proves once again how complete an artist Holiday was.
All Music Guide - Heather Phares
Lady Day Swings! collects some of the legendary songstress' best-known swing performances, including "What a Little Moonlight Can Do," "Nice Work If You Can Get It," "Them There Eyes," and "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm." Culled from the Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia box set, this compilation offers a more focused -- and, arguably, easily digested -- way to explore how Holiday brought her own personal experiences to her work. "Miss Brown to You," "A Fine Romance," and the other tracks here showcase the playfully alluring side of her work. A casual or new fan looking to explore the lively, charming aspects of Holiday's work would be wise to investigate Lady Day Swings!
