BILLY CRYSTAL PRESENTS

BILLY REMEMBERS BILLIE

Description:
"It is her artistry that I love, and have loved since I was a young kid," the comedian and actor Billy Crystal writes of Billie Holiday. Not just another Billie Holiday fan, the young Crystal had the rare opportunity to observe that artistry up close Milt Gabler, the man who produced some of Holiday's most memorable recordings, was his uncle. At the apex of Holiday's career, Gabler was her first choice to oversee her in the studio, and she was his highest aspiration: "I'm very proud I recorded Billie and got her at the peak of her vocal abilities. You can hear the warmth and fullness of her voice in those recordings." These timeless tracks, personally picked by Crystal, pay tribute to that fruitful and stil influential relationship.
