Description
LIMITED EDITION - THE COMPLETE LP + 4 BONUS TRACKS - 180-gram VIRGIN VINYL. After an impasse recording with tightly arranged groups and big bands with strings, Billie Holiday signed her last long-term contract with Norman Granz. He had showcased her as a star with his Jazz at the Philharmonic tours in the mid and late forties, and when he signed her as a recording artist in 1952, he endeavoured to repeat the small group magic of her early years.
On Billie Holiday Sings, she is backed by an all-star sextet including Charlie Shavers on trumpet, Flip Phillips on tenor sax, Oscar Peterson on piano, and Barney Kessel on guitar, among others.
Bonus Tracks: (Studio session for Aladdin Records):
'Blue Turning Gray Over You' , 'Be Fair With Me Baby [aka Be Fair To Me)' , 'Rocky Mountain Blues' , 'Detour Ahead' .
