For the second of his three Mainstream sessions (one that has been reissued on CD), the bebop altoist Charles McPherson pays tribute to Billie Holiday; in fact, Siku Ya Bibi means Day of the Lady in Swahili. The emphasis is mostly on ballads, with Miss Brown to You and Lover Come Back to Me being exceptions. Four of the eight selections find McPherson backed by ten strings arranged by Ernie Wilkins, while the remainder of the date has the altoist joined by a rhythm section that includes pianist Barry Harris. Although not quite up to the level of his upcoming, more freewheeling Xanadu sessions, this is a fine outing. Highlights include the two aforementioned cooking pieces, Lover Man, Good Morning Heartache, and Im a Fool to Want You.
