Our Take

Billie Holiday, the queen of jazz, takes listeners on a mesmerising journey through time with The Complete Commodore Masters.

From her smooth and sultry vocals to the elegant instrumentation, this album is a true gem in Holiday's extensive discography. The bonus CD, in all its digi glory, adds an extra layer of depth to an already stellar collection.

Each track on this album is like a vintage wine - it only gets better with age. Holiday's emotive delivery on classics like "Strange Fruit" and "God Bless the Child" will leave you spellbound, as if you're sipping a martini in a smoky jazz club in the 1940s.

The arrangements on The Complete Commodore Masters are top-notch, with each instrument shining in its own right. The chemistry between Holiday and her band is electric, creating a magical atmosphere that is impossible to resist.

This album is a must-have for any jazz aficionado, as it showcases Holiday at the height of her powers. The raw emotion and passion in her voice will transport you to another era, where music was king and Holiday was its reigning queen.

In conclusion, The Complete Commodore Masters is a timeless collection of music that solidifies Billie Holiday's status as a true legend. So sit back, relax, and let Holiday's music sweep you off your feet - you won't be disappointed.
