About this album
Ella, Lena, And Billie brings together performances by Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne and Sarah Vaughan, four of the most distinctive voices in jazz. Issued in 1955, the compilation draws on swing-era vocal recordings that helped define the genre’s blend of лёгibility, phrasing and emotional nuance. Heard in the company of Teddy Wilson and his orchestra, these sides highlight why each singer became a standard-bearer in her own right: Holiday’s bite and intimacy, Fitzgerald’s supple swing, Horne’s polish and Vaughan’s rich tonal command. The result is a concise portrait of vocal jazz at its most elegant and enduring.
