Description
The recordings included on the classic album Lady Sings the Blues come from two
different studio dates, a complete session recorded in 1956, and four tunes from a
1954 date. An additional track from the latter session has also been added here as a
bonus. The emphasis on both sessions is placed on Billie Holiday’s singing. Although
important musicians are present on both dates, little room is left for any instrumental
improvisation. Billie’s voice is clearly the showcased instrument here, which as Miles
Davis stated, “sounded like a horn anyway”.
