An early compilation album of great songs from the swing era.
This album is centered around Columbia recordings from the 1930s, and includes early masterpieces performed with virtuoso musicians such as Teddy Wilson.
This compilation album features Billie Holiday's best performances from the swing era of the 1930s. Primarily featuring sessions with Teddy Wilson and Lester Young, it includes classics like "What a Little Moonlight Can Do" and "Summertime."
