The way the system sounds today made me want to hear this Tatum material again–it is so well mastered that listening to these three masters seems such a joy.

Does anyone know anything about this record? Even the identity of the poet? She's not the greatest poet but it is very interesting to hear a jazz poet from this period take her lyrical approach, which is really quite different to most poets working in this area at the time. 

I had heard somewhere that the band might be Juju. Not sure what that is based on.

Billie Holiday “Lady in Satin” Centennial Edition, Columbia/Legacy 3 cd edition, disc 1

This is a sad album, I don’t play it often because. . . it was Billie’s last release and sad but powerful in its way, deserving of the praise and attention it reieeves.

This three cd set has a lot of extras: outtakes, alternate takes, even a performance from Sound of Jazz. Also the presentation of the original release here sounds perhaps the best I’ve heard digitally.
