 (1 Customer Review)
This DVD uncovers the life and career of this dark lady of the sonnets, featuring Count Basie, Lester Young, Doc Cheatham, Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, Gerry Mulligan, Mal Waldron and others. Includes rare TV and movie clips, her four sequences of New Orleans (her unique appearance on a Hollywood movie, with Louis Armstrong), and the extremely rare fifteen-minute musical short presenting Count Basie and his Sextet, Billie Holiday and Sugar Chile Robinson: a virtual triptych of talent, for the first time complete. The legendary jazz singer Billie Holiday changed the face of pop music forever during the 1930s and 40s, imbuing her every song with the richness and tragedy of her own life and experiences. With a troubled childhood, and later an equally difficult romantic life, as well as substance abuse problems, Holiday's personal story ensured her notoriety; yet it was just this sense of pathos that made her music so affecting. With a broad range of emotion that was always intense and heartfelt, Holiday deviated from traditional notions of jazz singing to create her own style of singing that was passionate, poignant, and heartbreaking. THE GENIUS OF LADY DAY collects rare TV clips, as well as her sole appearance in a feature film, playing a maid in Arthur Lubin's NEW ORLEANS (1947). Completing the bill is the extremely rare 15-minute short presenting Count Basie and his Sextet, Billie Holiday, and Sugar Chile Robinson. The documentary also includes footage of Holiday contemporaries Lester Young, Doc Cheatham, Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, Gerry Mulligan, Mal Waldron, and others.

Billie Holiday - Life & Artistry Of Billie Holiday film
 $9.89    
Digitally remastered from the original analog master tapes by Phil De Lancie (1991, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley).
This 1956 release was the first of Waldron's four "Mal" titles (MAL-1, MAL-2, MAL-3, and MAL-4). At the time of these recordings Waldron was working as Billie Holiday's accompanist--he was her piano player for the last two years of her life, and, like the legendary singer, he uses dramatic understatement rather than overt flash.
This set is a mix of originals and standards. Jerome Kern's "Yesterdays" is stripped to its core components, with the bass setting the pulse, as a solo trumpet starts ...

Billie Holiday - Life & Artistry Of Billie Holiday video
$13.85
Trombonist Steve Turre pays tribute to his former employer, the remarkable multi-reedist Rahsaan Roland Kirk, on this sincere effort. Turre and an all-star group perform nine of Kirk's songs plus the trombonist's "One for Kirk." But although the music is certainly well played, one misses Rahsaan's miraculous innovations. It was logical getting James Carter for the date since Carter, like Kirk, can play any reed instrument in any style. But surprisingly Carter is mostly pretty restrained ...
