Supper Club

Billie Holiday, born Eleanora Fagan, was an iconic American jazz singer and songwriter. With her soulful voice and unique phrasing, she became one of the most influential vocalists in the history of jazz music. Known for her emotionally charged performances, Holiday's songs often explored themes of love, heartbreak, and social injustice.
Raised in a troubled environment, Holiday found solace in music from a young age. She began singing in Harlem nightclubs before catching the attention of record producer John Hammond. Her career took off with hits like "Strange Fruit," which addressed racial inequality.
Despite facing personal struggles and battling addiction throughout her life, Billie Holiday left an indelible mark on the world of music. Her distinctive style continues to inspire generations of artists today.

The first popular jazz singer to move audiences with the intense, personal feeling of classic blues, Billie Holiday (1915-1959) changed the art of American pop vocals forever. Songs for Distingue Lovers is one of the best albums from her late period and finds her surrounded by important instrumentalists, such as Ben Webster and Harry "Sweets" Edison.

 The album received a four-star rating in Down Beat upon its release: "This is one of those loose, utterly relaxed sessions where the rhythm section is settled in a happy groove behind the singer and the horn players are left free to say their piece without the restriction of short takes. Miss Holiday remains the unique stylist, still incomparable."- John A. Tynan
