Description
 
Limited vinyl LP repressing of this classic 1958 album by the jazz icon.
Lady in Satin is the penultimate album completed by the singer and last
released in her lifetime. The original album was produced by Irving
Townsend, and engineered by Fred Plaut. The song material for Lady in
Satin derived from the usual sources for Holiday in her three decade
career, that of the Great American Songbook of classic pop. Unlike the
bulk of Holiday's recordings, rather than in the setting of a jazz combo
Holiday returns to the backdrop of full orchestral arrangements as done
during her Decca years, this time in the contemporary vein of Frank
Sinatra or Ella Fitzgerald on her Songbooks series. The album consists
of songs Holiday had never recorded before. The arrangements were by
bandleader Ray Ellis, Holiday familiar with his Ellis in Wonderland
album. Soloists on the album included Mel Davis, Urbie Green, and bebop
trombone pioneer J.J. Johnson.
