The Great Ladies Of Jazz (3 CD Set)

Description

This three-disc CD set brings together three of the most towering vocal talents in jazz history, each disc dedicated to a legend who shaped the art form on her own terms. Sarah Vaughan’s extraordinary range and harmonic sophistication are on full display across tracks like ‘Lullaby Of Birdland’ and ‘Lover Man’, while Dinah Washington commands every room she enters, her blues-drenched phrasing electrifying performances such as ‘Stormy Weather’ and ‘Ain’t Misbehavin”. Billie Holiday, whose deeply personal and emotionally raw delivery remains utterly singular, contributes enduring classics including ‘God Bless The Child’. Together, these recordings offer a rich and indispensable portrait of jazz vocals at their very finest…
