Billie Holiday: Live In Cologne 1954 Pure Fidelity (Blu-ray Audio Only) 96kHz/24bit DTS-HD Master Audio Release Date 2015 VERY RARE
Unreleased, original remastered concert recording! In January 1954, twelve American musicians travel- ed to Europe under the tour title "Jazz Club USA," named after Leonard Feather's radio show. Having had an encounter with her abusive husband the evening prior, Billie Holiday appeared onstage in Cologne wearing dark sunglasses, and the reper- toire included a song written by her entitled "I Love My Man" (a.k.a. "Billie's Blues"). The singer may have been battered by her disastrous life, but she was nevertheless able to move her audience.
