AVID Easy here presents four classic Lena Horne albums plus, including original LP liner notes on a finely re-mastered and low priced double CD.
" Stormy Weather" "Give the Lady What She Wants",. "At the Waldorf Astoria", "A Friend of Yours" plus the rare E.P. "At the Cocoanut Grove"
The liner notes for our first album "Stormy Weather" very accurately describe AVID's latest recruit to our four classic album series. "In singing there is Ella. In night clubs there is Hildegarde. In the movies there is Lana...and in all three- in singing, night clubs and movies there is the entertainer supreme - Lena...a fascinating mixture of talent, charm and beauty... This is Lena". Across these classic albums we can hear Lena covering the songs of Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke on "A Friend Of Yours". Covering the great American songbook with such classics as "Summertime", "Mad About The Boy" and "Just One Of Those Things" on "Stormy Weather". Experience Lena live in person on the album "At The Waldorf" where she performed in 1956 to record number of customers twice a night. And again on the rare E.P. "At The Cocoanut Grove" where she storms through classics by Rodgers & Hammerstein and Lerner & Loewe.
All four albums plus, have been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest sound quality ever!
