Small jazz groups brought out the best in Billie Holiday - especially groups as good as the one heard on this classic 1957 recording. Ben Webster, Barney Kessel and the other members of this stellar ensemble were not just gifted soloists but sensitive accompanists as well. Lady Day was rarely more ably supported than she was on this program of sturdy standards. Verve's 'Acoustic Sounds Series' features transfers from analogue tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
