Ten CDs with everything Billie Holiday recorded on Verve Records between 1945 and her death in 1959 - not only the 



songs, but concert introductions, some of the rehearsals, and between-take studio chatter, too.  All of which makes for
a 



definitive portrait of Lady Day in her final years.  For a long time these recordings were disparaged because it was
said 



her voice was no longer fine and mellow, "ravaged" by hard living, jail time, booze, and drugs.  And there's
no question 



that her later tone is darker, more brittle and unstable than it had been in the '30s - but somehow I find myself
listening to 



this music more often than those Brunswick/Columbia or Decca sides, anyway.  Like Frank Sinatra, who so often paid 



tribute to her influence, Holiday's artistry was never based on virtuosity; it was about interpretation, bringing out
the 



emotions in a song and giving a personal reading. She never stopped doing that, and for all the "strange
fruit" you'll find 



in this collection, it's a gold mine. ~ Jim Emerson 



Holiday's brilliance, in spite of and in synch with the circumstance of her life does something religious, transcends,




translates and transforms everyday existence.

This box set is a great gift to those of us wishing to understand better our love for Lady. The insight into her musical




journeys in the final years of her life is fascinating. Although many critics have contended that Holiday's genius lay,
for the 



most part, in her earlier Columbia recordings I feel this box set nullifies that argument. Not because Holiday's
Columbia 



recordings weren't brilliant, but because the Lady we here in her Verve Days is almost a different artist. 



Here we have a Billie of resillience as we witness in the recordings of her 1954 Jazz Club USA performance on Dics 2
& 3. 



We have an artist choosing new (for her) material and revitalized while nearing the end of her life in the 1957 Norman




Granz run sessions. We are given a look into the recording world of Holiday will rehearsal tapes from Artie Shapiro's




home in 1955. These are particularly interesting as we are given a chance to hear her in both the process of crafting
each 



song. A step from this to the 1955 August 25th recording session tapes allows into the reminiscient dialogue of Billie
and 



her band while reshaping Holiday classics like "Strange Fruit".



My personal highlights hit in the Jazz Club USA jam session of "Billie's Blues", discussion in the '55 studio
session over 



"Nice Work If You Can Get" where Holiday explains why she feels she can never sing a song the same twice. (
This is 



erroneous in actuality - in some ways this being because of the limitations of her substance abuse, but we'll let her
have it 



because we love her. ) And finally the final Verve Recordings of Holiday for MGM in 1959 in the "Lady In
Satin" tradition 



with Ellis. Although not as tightly emotionally moving as "Lady In Satin", a beautiful extension of the
sentiment 



nonetheless.



The liner notes are extensive, informative and fascinating - could be a book themself, but by length so could this
review. 



Special graces to Phil Schaap for his precise discography and session notes. 



This is a whole lot of expensive, this box set. But it's worth it. It allows a brief insight into the studio of a
genius, an 



extensive retrospective of one of the most important American artists EVER and a whole lot of joy, pain, beauty and
magic 



all rolled into a tiny square box. ~ Joshua



Most critics believe Billie's early years were her best years. They are wrong. Although I am a fan of her early work, it
is the 



recordings she made later in life that grip me by the throat. In those years, her dreams were becoming nightmares, the




grey clouds darker.  Yet, a glimmer of hope managed to emerge from her voice, even as she sang the most 



heart-wrenching ballads.  I've heard many say that she couldn't sing.  They fail to realize that she does much more than




sing.  Sure, she stetches and folds notes, but in saying that, you loose the magic.  Billie let her soul sing.  The
strength in 



her frail voice during those later years is enormous.  Listen to Tenderly, You Go to My Head and I Cover the Waterfront.
 



Whether you are still moarning the loss of an old love or celebrating a new one, her voice will say it all. ~ Jake
Gonzalez
