Billie Holiday - Body and Soul (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series) (Mono) (180g) (LP)
Mono 180g Vinyl LP
Mastered by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound from the Original Analog Tapes
Pressed at Quality Record Pressings
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, Harry "Sweets" Edison 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, including three gems by the Gershwin brothers — and she rarely sounded more luminous.
Seeking to offer definitive audiophile grade versions of some of the most historic and best jazz records ever recorded, Verve Label Group and Universal Music Enterprises' audiophile Acoustic Sounds vinyl reissue series utilizes the skills of top mastering engineers and the unsurpassed production craft of Quality Record Pressings.
