Holiday, Billie
Lady Love (180 Gr)
Cornbread Records present a reissue of Billie Holiday's Lady Love, originally released in 1962. Though she had been
performing professionally since the late 1920s, as a teenager in Harlem during its Renaissance, the immortal Billie
Holiday didn't play a single night on the European continent until 1954. It was in that year that the great journalist
and musician Leonard Feather, and a Swedish promoter, organized the Jazz Club U.S.A. tour, named after Feather's wildly
popular radio program. Featuring Red Norvo, Sonny Clark, and more, the centerpiece of Jazz Club U.S.A. was undoubtedly,
Lady Day. Recorded at various dates across the tour, Lady Love shows Holiday still had it, despite the turmoil, and drug
and alcohol abuse, her voice remained strong, a stunning document of one of America's greatest treasures on her first
ever tour of Europe. Reissued here on 180 gram vinyl. Includes five bonus tracks and download code.
