he first popular jazz singer to move audiences with the intense, personal feeling of classic blues, Billie Holiday (1915-1959) changed the art of American pop vocals forever. Songs for Distingué Lovers is one of the best albums from her late period and finds her surrounded by important instrumentalists, such as Ben Webster and Harry “Sweets” Edison. The album received a four-star rating in Down Beat upon its release, with John A. Tynan stating that “Miss Holiday remains the unique stylist, still incomparable.”
