Theodore Shaw “Teddy” Wilson (1912-1986) was the epitome of swing piano and probably the most influential piano player of the thirties.
In 1935 John Hammond arranged for him a recording contract with the ARC company that produced one of the most rappresentative series of small group recordings of the period. The sessions relied extensively on improvvisation by top musicians mostly changing from session to session.
Since the first date however, the producers gave a lot of room to vocalist Billie Holiday, then a newcomer.
She had such a big success that those records in the eyes of pubblic soon became her own.
Apart the fact that she didn’t partecipate to all sessions, this isn’t fair anyhow because the musical quality derived from the impromptu cullaboration between singer and musicians.
And the musicians themselves were among the top soloists of best known big bands
So this is collection of spare instrumental sides from the Holiday sessions and of some non-holiday gatherings, sometimes with other singers, is a long time missing compilation that we hope you will enjoy.
