A Tribute to Billie Holiday
Two “legends” of modern jazz meet for the first time in duo to pay homage to Billie Holiday!
“When Billie Died I found it very painful to play any tune associated with her. Always they would invoke unhappy and sad moments from our musical collaboration.
But now, for the first time with Archie, or maybe because of Archie, selecting the material and performing the songs became for me a joyous time in which I recalled many happy and positive moments togther with Billie.
Also re-establishing contact with Archie Shepp, who is one of the truly great saxophonists of our time, made the creation of this album a fantastically uplifting experience for me”.
