Release Date: 11-11-1997

Details: Amazon.ca This 1957 recording is a performance of heightened expression, with Billie Holiday able to shift the mood and meaning of these very familiar songs with the slightest inflection of pitch and time, her phrasing the equal of any great jazz instrumentalist. Her subtle alterations to the melody of "Stars Fell on Alabama" suggest more complex texts of song swimming just below the lyric. The tunes feature solos by Roy Eldridge, Ben Webster and Barney Kessel. Throughout are highlights of shared creativity, and "They Can't Take That Away from Me" is a masterpiece of late swing. --Stuart Broomer Product Description Holiday, Billie
