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 Andrew Bird Outside Problems Jazz | Concord | 1LP Released 17th November 2023 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Andrew Bird Outside Problems £30.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Concord SKU: LVR3771 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ray Charles In Concert In The Sixties Jazz | 1960's Records | 1LP Released 30th June 2023 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ray Charles In Concert In The Sixties £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: 1960's Records SKU: RANDB115LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chris Botti Vol. 1 Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note | 1LP Released 20th October 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chris Botti Vol. 1 £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note SKU: 5516587 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nils Landgren solo Nature Boy Jazz | ACT | 1LP Released 1st October 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nils Landgren solo Nature Boy £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9938-1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Leon Thomas Spirits Known And Unknown Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 20th February 2020 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Leon Thomas Spirits Known And Unknown £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPAN FDS-115 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th February 2020 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View John Coltrane With The Red Garland Trio (Mono) Jazz | Analogue Productions (Prestige) | 180g, 1LP Released 6th January 2014 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Coltrane With The Red Garland Trio (Mono) £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions (Prestige) SKU: APRJ7123 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 6th January 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Paco De Lucia, Al Di Meola & John McLaughlin Saturday Night In San Francisco Jazz | Ear Music | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st July 2022 £23.00 - £26.00 Select options Paco De Lucia, Al Di Meola & John McLaughlin Saturday Night In San Francisco £23.00 - £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Ear Music Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st July 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Jamie Cullum The Pianoman At Christmas – THE COMPLETE EDITION – Red & Gold Vinyl Jazz | Island | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th December 2023 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jamie Cullum The Pianoman At Christmas – THE COMPLETE EDITION – Red & Gold Vinyl £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Island SKU: 3886167 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis Get Up With It Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 29th January 2016 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis Get Up With It £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1513 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 29th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ornette Coleman Science Fiction Jazz | ORG | 180g, 1LP Released 20th January 2015 £37.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ornette Coleman Science Fiction £37.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ORG SKU: OMLP2017 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th January 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
