Two Billie Holiday discs to soothen an awful morning at work.

 

Here too Billie Holiday this morning. 

In my case, listening is most almost for a certain purpose.

I´m scheduled this evening to play at Jazzland and the leader´s wishlist includes "Crazy He Calls Me", which is usually done in F, but Billie sings it in Db so just to have the chords in my head I listened to her version. 
Anyway I love the key Db.

And same with the title tune "Lover Man". Many folks here play it in F, and I think the RB changes are also in F, but she sings it in Db and that´s also the famous Loverman version Sarah Vaughan did with Bird´n Diz. The intro , the outing, everything.......

It´s very very good to hear Billie´s treatments of certain songs if you play ´ em on instruments, I always say play a ballad know at least some parts of the lyrics of it and how the singer phrases it, to get the knowledge you must have for playing a fine ballad.....
