Holiday,Johnny Blue Holiday CD

A talented and expressive jazz vocalist who recorded in the 1950?s to great reviews but poor record sales, Johnny Holiday was nonetheless an artist with a distinct, natural style. A case in point would be ?Blue Holiday,÷ Johnny?s 1961 album originally released on the small Contract Records label, where Johnny?s mellow voice inhabits the songs with a slow burning intensity and a genuine intimacy usually reserved for a smoky late night performance in a small club. The song selections are outstanding as well; from the sultry standard ?You Don?t Know What Love Is,÷ which begins the album, to Rodgers & Hammerstein?s beautiful ballad ?It Might as Well Be Spring÷ which ends the album, ?Blue Holiday÷ delivers on all fronts. All selections have been newly remastered.
