Holiday, Billie
Billie's Best (2lp)
The selection presented on this DOUBLE-LP is drawn from Billie Holiday's recordings of the mid-1950s. Producer Norman Granz set Holiday among the small jazz combos that suited her talents best, groups that included some of the finest soloists of her generation, such as trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, and saxophonists Benny Carter and Ben Webster. Granz also supplied ideal rhythm sections, with pianist Jimmy Rowles and guitarists Kenny Burrell and Barney Kessel making appearances here. SIDE 1: 1. What A Little Moonlight Can Do 2.
