Release Date 23rd May 2025
Recorded in five sessions over 1956/57 and released in 1958, this twelve-track affair is loaded with the classic standards from Irvin Berlin, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, and more. Though some claimed Holiday was beyond her peak at this point, it was Miles Davis that countered that this was actually her most effective time with her “deepest understanding and control” of the repertoire she was performing. Her supporting cast on this album contributes to that as well, which included Barney Kessel (Guitar), Ben Webster (Tenor Sax), “Sweets” Edison (Trumpet), and Jimmy Rowles (Piano).
