Notes
Billie Holiday is captured live at Storyville in Boston in 1951 and 1953. The discreet recordings capture Lady Day in prime emotive voice. On most selections she is accompanied by the Carl Drinkard Trio, but six others find her joined by Buster Harding’s Trio; the great tenor Stan Getz sits in on three of these numbers. Previously out of press for over 25 years, this historic recording has now been remastered and pressed on audiophile-grade vinyl at Pallas Group in Germany
Bass – Jimmy Woode (tracks: A2 to A8), John Fields (tracks: B1 to B6)
Drums – Marquis Foster (tracks: B1 to B6), Peter Littman (tracks: A2 to A8)
