LADY SINGS THE BLUES (+1 BONUS TRACK) (CRYSTAL CLEAR VINYL)

The recordings included on the classic album Lady Sings the Blues come from two different studio dates, a complete session recorded in 1956, and four tunes from a 1954 date. An additional track from the latter session has also been added here as a bonus. The emphasis on both sessions is placed on Billie's singing. Although important musicians are present on both dates (Charlie Shavers, Tony Scott, Paul Quinichette and Wynton Kelly, on the 1956 session, and Harry Sweets Edison, Willie Smith and Barney Kessel, on the 1954 date), little room is left for any instrumental improvisation.
