Producers: Norman Granz, Leonard Feather. Compilation producer: Richard Seidel. Recorded between July 1952 and September 1958. Includes liner notes by Gary Giddins and Richard Seidel. Digitally remastered by Dennis Drake (Polygram Studios). Excellent play on the songbook trend, with Holiday doing her own material. ~ Ron Wynn This compilation includes some of the best-known songs from Billie Holiday's repertoire, originals and standards recorded during the final decade of her career. This terribly painful and difficult period of Holiday's personal life yielded some of the most poignant and soulful jazz recordings ever. A number of them, rendered in the frayed and weary voice of the mature chanteuse, are included on the SONGBOOK. While up-tempo songs like "What a Little Moonlight Can Do" suffer from Holiday's lack of energy (contrasted by Oscar Peterson's vivid piano work), "Don't Explain," arguably her best original, is darkly brooding, rich and compelling. Holiday's voice in this late period has lost its shine and the sense of hope that infused its early incarnation. But her incomparable sense of time and phrasing is intact and alive, and the all-star ensembles gracefully shadow Holiday's dreamy singing.

Billie Holiday Songbook
$12.95 Personnel: Duster Bennett (acoustic guitar); Stella Sutton (vocals); Anthony 'Top' Topham (guitar); Johnny Almond (organ); Ham Richmond (keyboards); Gerry Jermott, Andy Silvester, Peter Green, Tony Mills, John McVie (bass guitar); Dave Bidwell, John Cloury, Kenny Lamb, Mick Fleetwood, Phil Wainman, Herb Lovelle (drum); Mike Vernon (claves); Ernestine Pearce, Viola Billups (background vocals). It turns out that Britain's best bluesman in the so-called white blues boom of the 1960s wasn't Eric Clapton, Peter Green, John Mayall, Eric Burden, Stevie Winwood or any of the other obvious contenders. It was Tony Bennett, or Tony "Duster" Bennett to be exact, a one-man band who combined a ragged and raw punk energy with sly songwriting skills to produce a body of work unlike any other in Europe or anywhere else. Bennett played seemingly every instrument imaginable, from kazoo to piano (sometimes all at once), and his voice, although technically not impressive, was uniquely his own and he somehow made it a completely expressive vehicle.
