Recorded in five sessions over 1956/1957 and released in 1958, this 12-track affair is loaded with the classicstandards from Berlin, Ellington, Gershwin and more. Though some claimed Billie Holiday was beyond her peak atthis point, it was Miles Davis who countered that this was her most effective time with her deepest understandingand 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). Verve Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl indeluxe gatefold packaging.
