I may order this one. Sounds good.

I like Holly Cole Temptation on SACD. Listening to Lauren White At Last now and love her breathy, sexy rendition of Blue Bayou.

After the publication of her autobiography, Lady Sings The Blues, Billie Holiday was doing good business in clubs in what turned out to be a last burst of stardom. We cannot know why she stopped recording for Norman Granz after January 1957 - but the present collection is a magnificent culmination of her years with the producer. This Hybrid SACD plays in both CD and SACD players, as well as all SACD-compatible DVD players.

Originally released in 1955.

Billie Holiday, vocals
Larry Bunker, drums
Harry "Sweets" Edison, trumpet
Barney Kessel, guitar
Red Mitchell, bass
Joe Mondragon, bass
Jimmy Rowles, piano
Alvin Stoller, drums
Ben Webster, tenor saxophone
 
LA 4 !
Just Friends.
The Nylon stringed guitar of Laurindo Almeida sounds magical ! It is almost impossible to imagine you are not at the recording session!
 
For vocal and jazz check out some of Chesky records. SACD

These Chesky hybrid SACD's are the best recorded Cd's I have heard period. Even the CD layer bests most SACD's Give a listen to the samples

This is another excellent SACD- Christy Baron - Retrospective

This is an excellent Sax Cd- Amazon.com: Blues For The Saxophone Club (DXD 24-bit master): Music
