Left Alone Revisited 180gr 2LP

Archie Shepp (ts, ss, voc); Mal Waldron (p)

Mal Waldron's first tribute to Billie Holiday,
titled 'Left Alone', was recorded in 1959, mere
months before the singer's death. He returned to
salute the legendary vocalist on several occasions
since then, with this recording likely being his
final tribute, recorded less than a year before
his own death. Waldron, who worked with Holiday
during her last years, is intimately familiar with
her takes of the six standards heard on this
disc, along with her own 'Lady Sings The Blues'.
Archie Shepp's often gritty tenor sax is
reminiscent of the texture of Holiday's voice, yet
he perfectly complements Waldron's lush piano.
They also pack a punch with their stark
performance of 'Left Alone' (Shepp's occasional
reed squeaks seem deliberate, as if to imitate
breaks in her voice). Waldron also recites
Holiday's lyrics set to his composition at the
conclusion of the LP. Shepp switches to soprano
sax for an emotional take of 'Everything Happens
To Me' and 'I Only Have Eyes for You,' with the
latter song sounding as if the unheard singer is
being ignored by her love interest. Shepp's 'Blues
For 52nd Street' is both sassy and swinging. This
instrumental salute to Billie Holiday is one of
the best albums ever to honour her memory.
