SONGS FOR DISTINGUE LOVERS

Description

This 1957 album produced by Norman Granz may seem like a mandatory exercise, but it is nonetheless one of the singer's best. The goal was clearly to confront "Lady Day" with the great American songbook, that of Cole Porter and Gershwin. Billie Holiday rises to the challenge, like an aristocrat who has nothing left to prove. She takes us into a twilight swing where we sway between intoxication and the transcendence of solitude. Reminding us, in passing, that blues and jazz are one! Excerpt from the ideal Fnac discography 2017.
