Billie Holiday: Yesterdays (CD: Proper)
This Proper Introduction presents 21 tracks recorded by the great Billie Holiday between spring and summer of 1952, when she was working with small bands featuring the likes of Oscar Peterson. Billie's voice on these cuts is a thing of beauty and seems full of life, happy to be in a jazz setting once more after her series of recordings with full orchestra at the end of the 40s.

Billie Holiday: Body And Soul (CD: Verve)Billie Holiday: Body And Soul (CD: Verve)
Come the latter half of the 1950s, the liquor and narcotics had finally begun to catch up with 'Lady Day'. However, though her later records inevitably chart the demise of a tortured soul in varying states of decay, Norman Granz's productions continued to capture what resplendence was still left in Holiday, a woman capable of telling a story like no other in jazz- from experience.

The Verve records are revealing documents of her latter years and though the voice sounds ravaged by her own excesses, 'Body and Soul' finds her in remarkably good shape in January 1957. The title cut, 'Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You' and her Gershwin standards receive definitive readings, notably 'Embraceable You', and 'They Can't Take That Away From Me', where her weary, masterful delivery is perfectly pointed up by Ben Webster's tersely passionate solos. This superb-sounding Master edition features three additional tracks: a couple of false starts- with studio chatter- and an alternate take of 'Comes Love'.

Billie Holiday: Lady In Satin (CD: Columbia)Billie Holiday: Lady In Satin (CD: Columbia)
As magical as it is disturbingly harrowing, Lady In Satin captures the voice of a lady audibly ravaged by a lifetime of hardship, drug and alcohol abuse. This, her penultimate studio recording with Ray Ellis' orchestra in 1958, exposes her failing voice but gloriously reinforces every sentiment she utters. And every one of them she lived, breathed and, ultimately, took to the grave not long afterwards. Fascinating and essential listening. (Includes 4 previously unreleased bonus tracks, new liner notes by arranger Ray Ellis & stunning rare photos).
