• Two complete albums (originally both on Verve) by Billie Holiday: ‘Songs for Distingué Lovers’, which only included six long tunes, and ‘Body and Soul’, as well as an additional song from the same sessions.

• Both albums include memorable 1957 Billie Holiday recordings backed by a small group featuring Ben Webster, Harry “Sweets” Edison, Jimmy Rowles and Barney Kessel.

• “These were her last studio recordings for [Norman] Granz and the last in the small-group context she was famous for. Webster is beautiful; the band selflessly reinforce her, but they are able to do so because they are backing not so much a singer as another musician: she is among equals. She ended up doing some of the best of all her work for Granz.” Donald Clarke – ‘Wishing on the Moon’.

• Personnel : Billie Holiday, vocals; Ben Webster, tenor sax; Harry “Sweets” Edison, trumpet; Jimmy Rowles, piano; Barney Kessel, guitar; Red Mitchell, bass; Alvin Stoller, drums; Larry Bunker, drums - all tracks recorded in Hollywood, California, in January 1957.

• Total time: 77:44 mins. - 15 tracks - includes 12-page booklet.
