Harold_Z Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 ....by Billie Holiday is one swingin' side ! I had disc one from the Billie Columbia box on the car stereo today. I've been familiar with this rendition since the days of vinyl, but today it just really all came back. This is ONE SWINGIN' SIDE ! Bunny Berigan, Artie Shaw, Joe Bushkin, Cozy Cole and Pete Peterson all are kickin' behind Billie...and on the strength of this record Pete Peterson can walk his ass off ! Billie is in strong voice - a little hoarseness adding to the effect. She's singing on the beat and swingin' to beat the band. "Swing Song" indeed ! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Up for consideration. I agree and hope for other comments. More later when I have time. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 And she sort of sells the not bad lyrics. . . . Good call Harold. I dig this one. I'll have to pull it out soon. Quote
