Another Legacy title fashioned out of the recordings released in total on the exhaustive Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia box set of her early career. No complaints here as few can afford such abundant booty and because the label sticks to tried and true themes. Although you may prefer her previous swing record and the bluesy compilation of her work with velvet-touched tenor-saxophonis t Lester Young Love Songs Vol. 2 is another antidote to the perception that Lady Day could only excel at mournful striking downer tunes such as her most famous work "God Bless the Child" "Strange Fruit" and "Until the Real Thing Comes Along." Here are 16 sides of the more whimsical sassy mischievous or laughingly resigned Billie Holiday typified by the unabashedly lustful "I Must Have That Man" the chuckle of Oscar Hammerstein's "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" and even Hammerstein's depressingly named but actually bouncy "Why Was I Born." Though she's not as unfettered as Louis Armstrong (who for instance wrung much more humor with Ella Fitzgerald out of their later '50s look at "A Fine Romance" Holiday's version here from 1936) her behind-the-b eat singing remains a flavorful reading on these classic Tin Pan Alley tunes. Of course there are a few "blue" Holiday tunes such as Irving Berlin's "This Year's Kisses" and Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra can't help but inject their melancholy notes here and there. So it's not exactly a picnic but it is once again a multifaceted look at the total talent of one of the best jazz interpreters who ever entered a studio of the languid tantalization of love just out of reach. -Jack Rabid Rovi.Artist: Billie Holiday.Genre: Jazz.Sub-Ge Columbia
