Description

After an impasse in which she mostly
recorded with tightly arranged groups (for
Commodore) and big bands with strings
(for Decca), Billie signed her last longtermcontract
with Norman Granz. When he
signed her as a recording artist in 1952,
he tried to repeat the small group magic of
her early days. She participated on various
sessions surrounded by old friends like
Benny Carter, Ben Webster, Harry "Sweets"
Edison", Charlie Shavers and Cozy Cole,
all of whom had participated on dates with
her in the 1930s, plus other big names
from Granz's payroll at the time, such
as Benny Carter, Harry "Sweets" Edison,
and Jimmy Rowles. Music for Torching
contains some of Billie's best sides from
that period. 180-GRAM COLORED
PINK VINYL - THE COMPLETE
ALBUM + 2 BONUS TRACKS
Contains new specially prepared
liner notes by Penguin Guide to
Jazz's writer BRIAN MORTON and by
Paris' prestigious JAZZ MAGAZINE.
LIMITED EDITION
