During her final years, when drug addiction and a grueling performance schedule ground her down, Lady Day recorded a series of agonized, heart-wrenching sessions Р as painful for us to listen to as it must have been for her to complete. These 1958 sessions softened the impact of her sadly-diminished voice by including over-the-top string arrangements, more appropriate, perhaps, to pop vocalists like Kitty Kallen or Kate Smith, than to the greatest of jazz singers. Still, there is a compelling side to these recordings, an anguished emotionality to her performance that transcends mere morbid fascination, or simplistic "suffer to sing the blues" constructs -- even as she was dying, Holiday was a superior torch song stylist, and a canny jazz musician. Behind her prematurely ravaged voice and her spacy, irritable disconnection was a wealth of feeling and expertise, bitterly expressed, but knowingly crafted. This is worth checking out, and worth reexamining even if it doesn't take the first few times. Recent CD editions include interesting studio outtakes, such as an a capella vocal track on one song, followed by the completed, slushy, poppified version
