Comprised of the last five studio dates Billie Holiday did for Verve, Songs For Distingue Lovers finds her in her ideal environment; that of a small jazz combo. Accompanied by a legendary line-up including Sweets Edison, Ben Webster and Barney Kessel, Holiday sang with the clear enunciation and easy swing that had become her trademark. Included are standards by Rodgers & Hart, the Gershwins and Cole Porter.
