Billie Holiday: Lady Day

 Lady Day was my introduction to Billie Holiday's early recordings, and it's still my preferred mode in which to listen to early Billie.

I haven't heard Melody Nelson in 20 years at least. Liked it a lot back then!

Bette St.Claire - AT BASIN STREET EAST, Seeco CELP-456, Rec.1958

A surprisingly good set of music. Haven't heard this singer before. With George Du Vivier [spelling on cover]. 

Someone got it on Special for 84 cents.

V/A - Musiques des Communautes Indigenes du Mexique: Mayas - Coras - Totonaques - (Vogue, FR)

pretty incredible mixture of brass/percussion ensembles, accordion wheeze, vocal pieces and flutes that make my cat's ears perk up wildly.

I've always wondered about that "Tracey Plays Ellington" record. I've never heard it. What do you think of it, aparxa? (Or others?)

I like it. Good complementarity between Tracey and Babbington. "I let a song" is just beautiful. I was not won over by the record Tracey has made with Rouse around the same period, but I will give it another try someday.

Steve Lacy / Ulrich Gumpert - Deadline (Sound Aspects). Lacy urged his fans not to buy this 1985 album, because it was mastered at the wrong speed. I dutifully avoided it for years, but have recently been using my variable speed turntable to pitch other records correctly, so I picked up a nice copy of this recently and quickly found the correct speed with the help of the sheet music to the opening piece, "Art.". Pitch issues aside, this album doesn't seem to be that well regarded, but I like it a lot, and think that Lacy and Gumpert play very well together.
