Yesterday I had the blues : the music of Billie Holiday

"On Yesterday I Had the Blues, James stays exceptionally close to the spirit of Holiday's work. He does so without embalming her music as a museum piece or smothering his own voice, thereby adding a real contribution to her legacy. This is his most intimate, powerful, and masterful date".

"Perhaps the greatest triumph in this flawless recording is the way James succeeds in transcending the lyrics - achieving that rare goal of transforming the human voice into a horn - yet still making every word count".
