Info for Body And Soul (Mono Remastered)

Small-group recordings brought out the most in Billie Holiday, and this 1957 date is a doozy-with Harry "Sweets" Edison and Ben Webster among others! She's at her most luminous as she sings Body and Soul; Darn That Dream; Comes Love; Let's Call the Whole Thing Off, and more.

"This session comes from close to the end of the line (1959) in the erstwhile swinging company of Barney Kessel on guitar, Ben Webster on tenor, and naysayers will be quick to point out that Lady Day wasn't in peak form here. But Billie Holiday with some of the platinum chipped off the pipes is still way better than a buncha finger-snappin' wannabes anyday. Her interpretations of the title cut, "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," and "Darn That Dream" hold you in the palm of her hand with their gentle swing and the band support here is never less than stellar. This Mobile Fidelity reissue (also available as an audiophile vinyl pressing) features in-the-control-room sound that makes this session sound even cozier. The Lady sings and swings."
