Billie Holiday...Solitude.

Billie Holiday's first recordings for Norman Granz' Clef Records present the vocalist at the top of her craft. Originally issued as a 10 8243; LP titled 'Billie Holiday Sings', this 1952 session placed Holiday in front of small piano and tenor saxophone-led groups that including jazz luminaries such as Oscar Peterson and Charlie Shavers.

This is a masterpiece of an album which any serious jazz collector of vinyl should own. It is proof, if it were needed, that Holiday was the ultimate survivor and that she should be venerated and never pitied.
