館藏資訊
摘自 博客來音樂館 網站 : 在 1955-57 年間,傳奇爵士樂製作人 Norman Granz 請來 Billie Holiday 灌錄了數張專輯,當中有部分於自家廠牌 Clef 中發行,另一部分則在爵士名廠 Verve 旗下發表,像本張專輯 《Songs For Distingue Lovers》就是其一。
在專輯錄音期間,Billie Holiday 的歌聲正受健康因素的影響,不如以往的高亢明亮。而這些來自生活歷練上的磨難讓她的歌唱變得略微沙啞,並帶有滄桑的音色,但也為她的歌曲帶來了豐富的情感張力。其強大的渲染力,一字一句宛如真實地傾訴歌詞中的情節,讓人不自覺也深陷其中。
專輯中,除了 Billie Holiday 感性的歌聲動人外,結合 Ben Webster、Wynton Kelly、Barney Kessel 和 Red Mitchell 等強力樂手的伴奏,將作品烘托的更為出色。然而,權威音樂傳媒的高度評價,更加彰顯了 Billie Holiday 不凡的爵士地位。有別於當代眾多爵士女歌手的甜膩嗓音,Billie Holiday 的聲音是一種特殊的存在,好比是高純度的巧克力,一入口雖苦澀卻能回甘,是大人的口味。
摘自 博客來音樂館 網站 : 1959年五月31日,永遠的爵士女伶比莉.哈樂黛因嚴重肝硬化,病逝於紐約大都會醫院,享年44歲。在她病變入院治療到逝世前足足兩個月,病房門外都有警力看守,因為她被控非法持有毒品遭逮捕,悲慘不止於此,由於她晚年遇人不淑,收入屢遭詐騙,身後銀行存款只剩美金7毛五。
雖然比莉.哈樂黛傳奇的一生大多充滿令人不堪的苦痛,但這不是她之所以如此令所有樂迷崇拜的原因,最重要的是她用獨一無二的嗓音,改變爵士樂演唱和表達的方式。她在1956年底成功地完成所有音樂家的夢想-在卡內基廳表演 。
