专辑介绍
比莉哈乐黛，爵士乐的三大女伶之一，听着她的歌声中总带着一股澹澹的忧愁。生于一九一五年的Billie Holiday，在出生时父母都还是未成年的小孩，根本无法负起照顾她的责任。自小即在没有父母关爱环境下长大的她，十二岁时又惨遭强暴，后来还遭到被卖为雏妓的命运。多舛的童年并没有使Billie对人生抱持以怨怼的态度，相反地，更磨鍊出她对自我尊严的珍视。
因此被Billie一生的知己Lester Young当时另一位爵士传奇萨克斯风手，为她冠上「Lady Day」的称号。在Billie成名后，她仍无法摆脱童年的梦魇以及成名的压力，终日藉酒浇愁，最后她在一九五九年时，终因酒精中毒而撒手人寰。
Billie短暂却灿烂的音乐生涯中录製了许多经典佳作，本张专辑收录了最令人难以忘怀的十四首必备曲目，让我们再一次回视那段晦涩的年代，那个永不凋萎的声音。
Billie Holiday is predominant among jazz singers. Frank Sinatra said of her, "She was and remains my biggest influence." Sinatra points to the way Holiday could make a song her own. Her dusky, smoky voice conveys more about love and heartache in one syllable than most other singers in any genre will convey in a lifetime. This album is a collection of recordings from the '50s for the Verve and Clef labels. It's a late-night dream for the nights you can't sleep, thinkin' about the love that got away. Holiday is accompanied by some of the music's best players: Ben Webster (king of the big, breathy tenor sax tone), Benny Carter (alto sax), and Jimmy Rowles (one of the most graceful pianists ever). Her take on "Body and Soul" could melt the hardest heart, and imagine yourself at the end of your figurative rope with "Ill Wind." (The latter has great blues-shaded guitar by Barney Kessel, who himself was an influence on rock guitarist Pete Townsend.) A fine introduction to Holiday's twilight years.
