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 Roland Kirk The Limelight/Verve Albums Jazz | Mosaic | 4LP, Box Set Released 5th May 2014 £85.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roland Kirk The Limelight/Verve Albums £85.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Mosaic SKU: MQLP3006 Formats: 4LP, Box Set Released Date: 5th May 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Stanley Clarke Modern Man Jazz | Epic | 1LP Released 16th October 2023 £10.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Stanley Clarke Modern Man £10.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Epic SKU: nn274280 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th October 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Miroslav Vitous Group Miroslav Vitous Group Jazz | ECM | 180g, 1LP Released 16th February 2016 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miroslav Vitous Group Miroslav Vitous Group £15.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 3743511 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nina Simone Pastel Blues (Acoustic Sounds Series) Jazz | Philips | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 13th November 2020 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nina Simone Pastel Blues (Acoustic Sounds Series) £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Philips SKU: 0719082 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 13th November 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane The Complete 1957 Riverside Recordings Jazz | Concord | 180g, 3LP Released 30th June 2017 £93.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane The Complete 1957 Riverside Recordings £93.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Concord SKU: 7201977 Formats: 180g, 3LP Released Date: 30th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mildlife Live from South Channel Island Jazz | Heavenly | 2LP Released 29th April 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mildlife Live from South Channel Island £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Heavenly SKU: HVNLP199 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 29th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Matana Roberts Coin Coin Chapter Three: River Run Thee Jazz | Constellation | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd February 2015 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matana Roberts Coin Coin Chapter Three: River Run Thee £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Constellation SKU: CST110LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd February 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis Kind of Blue UHQR (45rpm 200g Clarity Vinyl) Jazz | Analogue Productions | 200g, 2LP, 45rpm, Box Set Released 30th September 2022 £200.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis Kind of Blue UHQR (45rpm 200g Clarity Vinyl) £200.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AUHQR 0004-45 Formats: 200g, 2LP, 45rpm, Box Set Released Date: 30th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Vince Guaraldi Trio Peanuts Portraits – The Classic Character Themes Jazz | Craft Recordings | 1LP Released 9th October 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Vince Guaraldi Trio Peanuts Portraits – The Classic Character Themes £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Craft Recordings SKU: CR00339 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jamie Cullum Interlude Jazz | Universal/Blue Note | 2LP Released 16th February 2015 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jamie Cullum Interlude £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Universal/Blue Note SKU: UNILP70959 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 16th February 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
