Has anyone heard Billy Holiday on SACD?

I was looking at the release list of SACD's from Sony and saw Billy Holiday "Lady in Satin". Has anyone heard it, is it an upgrade?

The review is not positive. http://www.audaud.com/audaud/MAR00/SACDs/SACDs.html I own the remastered CD. It's the best CD recording of Billie Holiday that I'm aware, but it's a little harsh. I'm sure the SACD version is better--but not outstanding when compared with better recorded performances of other artists.

I'm not sure if re-mixing has anything to do with the poor sound quality. The album itself is not really representative of Ms. Holiday. Her voice sounds raspy and all smoked out.
