Universal are delighted to present the very first multi-region DVD collection dedicated to one of the great legends of jazz, Billie Holiday.

The DVD includes performances of "My Man," "Please Don't Talk About Me Since I'm Gone," and "Billie's Blues" from 1956's Stars Of Jazz previously unavailable since their original airings, her film debut, and four other rare TV and film performances, plus full videos of Billie's
biggest influences, Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong. In addition, the DVD includes five rare audio tracks, a complete 1955 rehearsal session, and a rarely heard 1956 radio interview with legendary journalist Mike Wallace. Further included is a robust timeline that allows for an interactive tour through the entire DVD, linking dates from her humble birth to her star-studded funeral, including interviews with musical collaborators, a discography, and literally hundreds of rarely viewed photos, documents, and posters.
