While I don't necessarily worship at the altar of Billie Holiday and Elis Regina, I do like 'em both quite a bit. And I was inspired to put 'em together by Arthur Phillips novel The Song is You where there are fairly lengthy disquisitions on both of them (and a particular version of Billie Holiday's I Cover the Waterfront is of great importance to the novel's protagonist). Of course, then, I had to start the mix with I Cover the Waterfront.

funny - I remember Billie and On the Waterfront in that book, but I have no memory at all of Elis Regina. Maybe because I've never heard of her...
See, now I feel kinda silly because I forget exactly what role the narrator's fondness for Elis Regina plays in the storyline (even though I read it less than a year ago)
