From the Savory Collection, featuring rare live sets by Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday and Coleman Hawkins, to go on display at US National Jazz Museum. Quote from the New York Times: "The record is more like a dance tempo, whereas this version is how she would have done it in clubs,” Mr. Schoenberg, a saxophonist and pianist who is also the author of “The NPR Curious Listener’s Guide to Jazz,” said of the live Holiday recording. “You have the most inane scripted introduction ever, but then Billie comes in, and she drives a stake right through your heart."

Jack Millar's "Fine and Mellow" states incorrect that the 1946 Carnegie Peformances were on 3 and 17 june 1946: correct is 27 may and 3 june 1946. The 4 issued tracks of this session are surely from one-and-the-same session, in this sequence, most probably 3-jun-1946. The book 'Billie Holiday' of Ken Vail and the CD-booklet of the 'Complete on Verve' Box states a second un-issued track 'He's funny that way'. (according to "Fine and Mellow": 'The man I love' recorded as track 1 on 17-jun-1946, 'Gee baby, ain't I good to you?' recorded as track 2 on 17-jun-1946, 'All of me' recorded as track 2 on 3-jun-1946 and 'Billie's blues' recorded as track 3 on 3-jun-1946.
