About
Billy Eckstine is mainly remembered today as a peerless, stylish, balladeer, but this collection also hopes to re-establish his place as a wonderful Big Band singer, a marvelous interpreter of Jazz standards, as a seminal influence on the development on Bebop and Modern Jazz, and as a vocalist who inspired a whole generation of future Jazz, Soul, and R n B artists.
