ABOUT

“Velvet Mood” (subtitled “Songs by Billie Holiday”) is an album by jazz singer Billie Holiday, released in 1956 on Clef Records. The music was recorded over the course of two sessions in Los Angeles, two days apart, which had also resulted in all the material for Billie Holiday’s previous album “Music for Torching”.  The album featured an all-star cast of musicians from the Norman Granz roster, that were given ample room for soloing in addition to their supporting roles behind Billie Holiday’s haunting vocals. The cast included Benny Carter (alto Saxophone), Harry "Sweets" Edison (trumpet), Jimmy Rowles (piano), Barney Kessel (guitar), Larry Bunker (drums) and John Simmons (bass).
