Near time re-play ..... finally it clicked .... it took 25 years, but good things come to those who wait ....

Perhaps the title should have been Not Two, Not One, but Twenty-Five.

This is one I have bought three times. The 2 LP set is gorgeous. The US cd was really nice sounding. Then I bought the Japanese SHM-CD version and was really surprised how superior it sounds to the US cd.

A marvelously recorded session played by real masters. And James created a deeply moving tribute to Billie–without singing like Billie at all or even arranging the material in a way that mimicked or echoed the way the material was done for Billie. A very impressive work.
