Billie Holiday - An Evening With Billie Holiday (Reissue w/ 4 Bonus Tracks)

LP - Limited Edition 180g Black Vinyl featuring the complete 1952 sessions + 4 bonus tracks.

When Billie Holiday inked her final long-term deal with producer Norman Granz, his goal was to capture the intimate vibe of her early small group recordings—a goal he clearly met with this outstanding set of 1952 sessions. Supported by top-notch players like pianist Oscar Peterson, bassist Brown, and trumpeter Joe Newman, this collection showcases Billie Holiday at the peak of her remarkable abilities, just before health problems began to affect her voice in the late 1950s.
