SHEPP ARCHIE & MAL WALDRON - VINYL LEFT ALONE.. -HQ- [VINYL]

Popis - LEFT ALONE.. -HQ- [VINYL]:
Reissue (with remastered sound) on two 180-GRAM VINYL PLATTERS! Mal Waldron's first tribute to Billie Holiday, titled 'Left Alone', was recorded in 1959, mere months before the singer's death. He returned to salute the legendary vocalist on several occasions since then, with this recording (from less than a year before his own death) being his final tribute. Waldron, who worked with Holiday during her last years, is intimately familiar with her takes of the standards heard on this disc, along with her own 'Lady Sings the Blues'. Archie Shepp's often gritty tenor sax is reminiscent of the texture of Holiday's voice, yet he perfectly complements Waldron's lush piano. Wonderful!
