This collection traces an important seven years of her early recording career which built the platform for the huge commercial success she enjoyed during the mid to late 40s, before she began to succumb to the lifestyle which eventually destroyed her. It contains recordings with Teddy Wilson, Count Basie and Artie Shaws bands, as well as her own orchestra, and featuring musicians like her close associate Lester Young, and demonstrates her unique and unmistakable way of interpreting the songs. It is a fascinating and beguiling musical journey. Comprising 100 tracks on a 4-CD collection, this is a comprehensive and coherent overview of the formative era in the career of one of the great jazz vocalists. This collection comprises all the tracks previously available on the five Acrobat CDs The Incomparable Billie Holiday Volumes 1-5 (ACRCD112-116).
