Teddy Wilson His Piano and Orchestra With Billie Holiday

~ Release by Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Somewhat shameless budget comp (purposedly using a deceiving sleeve to advertise and sell "almost related" stuff).
Some of the cuts obviously don't even feature Holiday (eg: #14 is a Fitzgerald cut - Holiday never sang that tune).
