Description

Lady In Satin is Billie Holiday's final completed studio album and one of the most moving and emotionally powerful vocal jazz recordings ever made.

Originally released in 1958, the album captures Holiday's deeply expressive late-career voice accompanied by Ray Ellis and His Orchestra. Although her voice had changed considerably by this stage of her career, the emotional depth and vulnerability of these performances have made Lady In Satin one of the most revered vocal jazz albums of all time.

Featuring unforgettable interpretations of I'm A Fool To Want You, You've Changed, For All We Know, You Don't Know What Love Is and The End Of A Love Affair, the album remains an essential recording for jazz lovers and collectors alike.
