Description
Vocalist Nnenna Freelon presents a moving and uniquely contemporary homage to Billie Holiday a distinctively refreshing take on the legendary jazz singer's firmly established contributions to music. 'Blueprint of a Lady - Sketches of Billie Holiday' is lovingly comprised of 15 tracks, featuring boldly fresh interpretations of tunes strongly associated with Billie Holiday. Listen to "God Bless The Child," "Don't Explain," "Them There Eyes," "Strange Fruit" (sung in a medley with a Latin-inflected "Willow Weep For Me"), or the reggae-infused version of "All of Me," and you reach the inescapable conclusion that deep admiration, not imitation, is Freelon's inspired intention. Personnel: Nnenna Freelon (vocals), Brandon McCune (trumpet, piano, Fender Rhodes piano, Hammond b-3 organ), Wayne Batchelor (acoustic bass guitar), Kinah Boto (drums), Beverly Botsford (percussion)
