This week's best-selling CDs
1:00 PM. Jazz Profiles

Nancy Wilson hosts this 18-part Peabody Award-winning series chronicling the people, places and events in jazz, with a focus on legends and musical themes
(16) Billie Holiday
Billie Holiday (1915-1959) was the consummate jazz singer. She could take any song and make it her own. She could re-work a melody, sing a lyric with impeccable diction, add her own unique phrasing and embrace it with the raw emotional intensity of her life experience. All of the great bandleaders loved Lady Day: Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, Artie Shaw. Billie's personal battles are legendary, with a racist society, with men, with drugs, and it was that pain that fuelled her songs. But she worked at her craft, found her own voice, and inspired countless singers and musicians. This show focuses on Billies's music and its impact on jazz. Interviewees include her longtime accompanist Bobby Ticker, biographer Robert O'Meally, Abbey Lincoln and Joni Mitchell (NPR)
2:00 PM. Global Sounds
