Billie Holiday – Body and Soul [Mono] (Mobile Fidelity ANADISQ 200 Series Half-Speed Mastered Edition)

(AAA) — Lacquers cut from the original analog master tapes at half speed by Stan Ricker at Original Masteringworks.

Billie Holiday was the quintessential jazz singer. Her sensitive, flexible voice and her improvisational virtuosity made her every song sublime. The bitter sweet dramatic quality in her delivery makes the title track on this recording an unsurpassed work of art.

Released on Verve in 1957, this album features back up from the likes of Ben Webster, Barney Kessel and Jimmy Rowles. You probably weren't actually there in the Verve studios in 1957, but Mobile Fidelity's half-speed mastering and exclusive GAIN System technology places you, via the Anadisq in her presence.
