About this album
A vital live Billie Holiday set, this Carnegie Hall concert captures one of jazz’s most expressive voices in intimate, commanding form. Issued in 1961, the album draws on Holiday’s celebrated 1956 Carnegie Hall appearance, a landmark performance that brought together songs associated with her life and repertoire, including Lady Sings the Blues, God Bless the Child and Fine & Mellow. Holiday’s phrasing, timing and hard-won emotional directness give these performances lasting weight, while the live setting adds immediacy to her delivery. As a document of her late career, it remains one of the clearest statements of her artistry and influence.
