內容簡介
內容簡介 "Billie Holiday is an important artist in the time of Black Lives Matter. Her voice and her songs are a permanent reminder that the second act of American life doesn’t just have to balance the first; it has to redress it, too. And that is more than a comeback.” PENGUIN GUIDE TO JAZZ"And while she was poignant in her interpretation of the dark ‘Strange Fruit’, she was perhaps even more moving when singing about the setbacks of love and everyday life, because that’s when she allowed us to take a glimpse into her own tragic life.” JAZZ MAGAZINEPERSONNEL:Billie Holiday - vocals, plus:SIDE A & B1-B2:Charlie Shavers (tp), Tony Scott (cl, arr), Paul Quinichette (ts), Wynton Kelly (p), Kenny Burrell (g), Aaron Bell (b), Lennie McBrowne (d).New York, June 6-7, 1956.SIDE B3-B7:Harry "Sweets” Edison (tp), Willie Smith (as), Bobby Tucker (p), Barney Kessel (g), Red Callender (b), Chico Hamilton (d).Los Angeles, September 3, 1954Originally released as Lady Sings the Blues (Clef MG C-721)TRACKS:SIDE A:01.
