The classic LP Songs For Distingué Lovers from Billie Holiday — released in 1958 and regarded as her best work of the 1950’s — has deepened and become burnished with time, much like her singing which changed in her later years. Her voice darkened and shifted to a lower range. Her economy of expression distilled her sound to its essence — a kind of heightened speech – in her delivery of the songs from the Great American Songbook covered here.
Verve’s Acoustic Sounds Audiophile Vinyl Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
