Notes
A homage to legendary jazz vocalist Billie Holiday (born Eleanora Fagan on April 7, 1915) on the 100th anniversary of the singer's birth. The album features 11 re-interpretations of standards associated with Lady Day plus an original penned by Cassandra Wilson the dream-like new "Last Song (For Lester)," imagined as a heartbreaking final message from Billie to her musical love, Lester Young.Recorded and mixed at Seedy Underbelly Studios, Valley Vaillage, CA in summer of 2014
