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 Yazz Ahmed La Saboteuse Jazz | Naim Absolute | 1LP Released 12th May 2017 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Yazz Ahmed La Saboteuse £31.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Naim Absolute SKU: NAIMLP340 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nels Cline 4, The Currents, Constellations Jazz | Concord | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 4th May 2018 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nels Cline 4, The Currents, Constellations £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Concord SKU: 6740391 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 4th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bill Evans Trio ’64 (Acoustic Sounds Series) Jazz | Verve | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 27th August 2021 £40.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Bill Evans Trio ’64 (Acoustic Sounds Series) £40.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 3534603 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 27th August 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Marcos Valle & Stacey Kent Ao Vivo Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 2LP Released 22nd May 2015 £47.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Marcos Valle & Stacey Kent Ao Vivo £47.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPAN20092 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 22nd May 2015 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Louis Armstrong & Oscar Peterson Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson (Acoustic Sounds Series) Jazz | Verve | 180g, 1LP Released 18th September 2020 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Louis Armstrong & Oscar Peterson Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson (Acoustic Sounds Series) £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 0868785 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th September 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Coltrane Bahia Jazz | OJC | 1LP Released 19th January 2015 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Coltrane Bahia £14.00 Genre: Jazz Label: OJC SKU: OJC415 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th January 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gary Burton The New Quartet (Luminessence Series) Jazz | ECM | 180g, 1LP Released 23rd June 2023 £31.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Gary Burton The New Quartet (Luminessence Series) £31.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 4505324 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 23rd June 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Ella Fitzgerald Sings Cole The Porter Songbook Jazz | Verve | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 23rd August 2019 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ella Fitzgerald Sings Cole The Porter Songbook £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 7709000 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 23rd August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Paco De Lucia, Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin Paco De Lucia, Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin Jazz | Verve | 1LP Released 29th August 2018 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paco De Lucia, Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin Paco De Lucia, Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 5383225 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Glass Museum Reykjavik Electronica | Sdban Ultra | 1LP Released 8th May 2020 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Glass Museum Reykjavik £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Sdban Ultra SKU: SDBANULP14 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
