Through the years, I have read critics write about Billie losing her voiceas she got older - UTTER NONSENSE! Not on this recording. If anything, she gained feeling and emotional content due to living life.You would be hard pressed to put together a better group of sympathetic musicians from this period to back her, and to play such GORGEOUS solos.BEN WEBSTER, HARRY EDISON, BARNEY KESSEL, JIMMY ROWLES, RED MITCHELL, ALVIN STOLLER - Wow! These gentlemen were (are) a singers' dream to record with. Sinatra should have hired similar personnel when he formed REPRISE, but this is getting off track here.Like K.O.B.(for instrumental jazz), THIS RECORDING belongs near the topof anyone's Vocal collection.
