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 likely being his final tribute, recorded less than a year before his own death. Waldron, who worked with Holiday during her last years, is intimately familiar with her takes of the six 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. They also pack a punch with their stark performance of “Left Alone” (Shepp’s occasional reed squeaks seem deliberate, as if to imitate breaks in her voice). Waldron also recites Holiday’s lyrics set to his composition at the conclusion of the LP. Shepp switches to soprano sax for an emotional take of “Everything Happens to Me” and “I Only Have Eyes for You,” with the latter song sounding as if the unheard singer is being ignored by her love interest. Shepp’s “Blues for 52nd Street” is both sassy and swinging. This instrumental salute to Billie Holiday is one of the best albums ever to honour her memory. by Ken Dryden/AMG Personnel: Archie Shepp – tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone & vocal Mal Waldron – piano Produced by Werner Aldinger Recorded Feb 7 & 8 2002 at la muse en circuit, Paris Artist Archie Shepp & Mal Waldron Genre Jazz Label Pure Pleasure Buying Options 180g 2LP Gatefold Sleeve Format 180g , 2LP , Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country UK Track Listings Easy Living Nice Work If You Can Get It Everything Happens To Me Left Alone When Your Lover Has Gone I Only Have Eyes For You Blues For d Street Porgy Lady Sings The Blues Left Alone (Spoken Lyrics) Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz View Product Quick View Louis Armstrong and The All Stars Jazz Is Back In Grand Rapids Jazz | ORG | 2LP Released 9th February 2018 £43.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Louis Armstrong and The All Stars Jazz Is Back In Grand Rapids £43.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ORG SKU: AORM2097 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 9th February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dave Arch Coming Home Jazz | Diploma Records | 2LP Released 9th June 2017 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dave Arch Coming Home £18.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Diploma Records SKU: DR111LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 9th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Piero Umiliani Intrigo a Los Angeles OST Jazz | Contempo | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 15th June 2015 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Piero Umiliani Intrigo a Los Angeles OST £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Contempo SKU: C02008LP Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 15th June 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Coleman Hawkins & Ben Webster Encounters Ben Webster Jazz | Verve | 180g, 1LP Released 22nd February 2019 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Coleman Hawkins & Ben Webster Encounters Ben Webster £15.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 7708963 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 22nd February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Milt Jackson Plenty Plenty Soul Jazz | 52nd Street Records | 180g, 1LP Released 20th July 2012 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Milt Jackson Plenty Plenty Soul £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: 52nd Street Records SKU: LPFSST105 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th July 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Abbey Lincoln You Gotta Pay The Band Jazz | Decca | 2LP Released 27th August 2021 £26.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Abbey Lincoln You Gotta Pay The Band £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca SKU: 3591642 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 27th August 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Jimmy Smith Back At The Chicken Shack Jazz | Universal/Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 25th June 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jimmy Smith Back At The Chicken Shack £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Universal/Blue Note SKU: 3579051 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 25th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chick Corea & The Spanish Heart Band Antidote Jazz | Concord | 2LP Released 19th July 2019 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chick Corea & The Spanish Heart Band Antidote £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Concord SKU: 7210336 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 19th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey Art Blakey Big Band Jazz | BMG USA - Bethlehem Records | 180g, 1LP Released 12th May 2023 £22.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Art Blakey Art Blakey Big Band £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: BMG USA - Bethlehem Records SKU: 4050538858655 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 12th May 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Jazzrausch Bigband Bruckner´s Breakdown Jazz | ACT | 1LP Released 31st May 2024 £20.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Jazzrausch Bigband Bruckner´s Breakdown £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9058-1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
