Billie Holiday - At Jazz At The Philharmonic #27

£450.00

"At Jazz At The Philharmonic" is far more than just a concert recording; it is a document of resistance and the emancipation of jazz, showcasing one of the greatest singers of all time at the peak of her emotional power.
Captured in 1945 and 1946 across Los Angeles and New York City, these recordings document Billie Holiday at a pivotal peak of raw, transformative emotional power. 
Producer Norman Granz successfully elevated jazz from late-night entertainment to a respected, high-art form. Furthermore, these sessions serve as a defiant social document, marking a historic victory against racial segregation in the American concert hall.
The JATP series by Norman Granz became a cornerstone both artistically and historically for the Verve Label paving the way for one of the most prestigious catalogs in the genre.
