VA - Je n'aime toujours pas le jazz, mais ça j'aime bien ! [2013] 4 x CD's

This is a pleasant enough compilation of 'safe' music--don't expect cutting edge experimental stuff. Lots of good artists on here, including some historically important people to some moderns. One might quibble about some selections (Blood, Sweat & Tears?? Henry Mancini? And I would bet this compilation is the only one which includes both Billie Holiday and Doris Day). (Amazon)
