I was scratching my head when this came on because it occurred to me that I rarely hear her played on here - then I looked at the list and saw why that is.  Legendary talent, but not my taste. So 5 too many. |

Not sure if you're lobbying for more or less Billie. I'm in the "more" camp.
Oh, please don't misunderstand me - I love Billie. She was so gifted, and such an icon. That's why I find her underwhelming presence on RP so puzzling. But then, I've always felt the same about Dinah Washington as I do about Billie, and RP doesn't have even a single song by her in circulation. WTF? |

Great comment, thanks.
Ken Burns' Jazz transformed me from Jazz-curious to Jazz-obsessed. See it, see it, see it!
Shame he missed out Weather Report, fusion, all the major jazz guitarists and just about anything that happened in jazz during the 1970's. Apart from that .... |

Oscar's stellar swinging and unmistakable "singing" along with his playing gave it away for me. Amazing group of musicians. |
