Small jazz groups brought out the best in Billie Holiday - especially groups as good as the one heard on this classic 1957 recording. Ben Webster, Harry "Sweets" Edison and the other members of this stellar ensemble were not just gifted soloists but sensitive accompanists as well. Lady Day was rarely more ably supported than she was on this program of sturdy standards, including three gems by the Gershwin brothers -and she rarely sounded more luminous.

Originally released in 1957.

Billie Holiday, vocals
Barney Kessel, guitar
Red Mitchell, bass

This made me so sad that everything does not get the SACD treatment. I was imagining some of my favorite albums sounding this good. This is, simply put, one of the best sounding items of all time. That includes every format I own.This could not possibly be any better. You might gather that I suggest picking this one up, as soon as possible, at whatever cost. And pray that these guys get the urge to release Buddy Holly, and Chuck Berry, and.....

Mono sounds awesome

Short and sweet, I will be buying the complete set. The mono recording is so clear, it really sounds like a live concert. I am running this direct DSD through an Oppo BDP 83 SE, but the non SACD layer is also excellent. It is amazing what modern technology can do for these master tapes. As an audiophile and jazz lover, I really appreciate that Analogue Productions is reproducing these classics for lucky listeners.
