Tracks list

Songs for DistinguÃ© Lovers forms part of the last series of extensive
small-group recordings that Lady Day would make in the studio. Although her
voice was largely shot at this point, she puts so much feeling into the lyrics
that it's easy to overlook her dark sound. The band is a major asset, and made
up of all-stars: trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, tenor saxophonist Ben Webster,
pianist Jimmie Rowles, guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Red Mitchell, and Alvin
Stoller or Larry Bunker on drums. There are plenty of short solos for Edison,
Webster, and Kessel. Holiday does her best on such numbers as "A Foggy Day,"
"One for My Baby," "Just One of Those Things," and "I Didn't Know What Time It
Was," and there are plenty of haunting moments, even if one could tell (even at
the time) that the end was probably drawing near for the singer.
