●)-This is a live performance of Billie at the Jazz Club U.S.A. in Cologne, Germany on January 5, 1954. Since the track list is not listed on this page (at the time of this review) I am including it because there were two ensembles backing Billie on this album. Tracks A1 through A8 feature Billie backed by Carl Drinkard on piano, Red Mitchell on bass and Elaine Leighton on drums. These tracks are: A1 Announcement by Leonard Feather 0:26 A2 Blue Moon 2:08 A3 All Of Me 1:38 A4 My Man 2:45 A5 Them There Eyes 1:30 A6 I Cried For You 3:10 A7 What A Little Moonlight Can Do 2:25 A8 I Cover The Waterfront 3:10
●)-The final tracks - all on Side B - feature a much larger ensemble coming out at the performance and backing her. Here she is backed by Buddy DeFranco on clarinet, Red Norvo on vibraphone, Sonny Clark on piano, Jimmy Raney on guitar, Red Mitchell on bass and Elaine Leighton on drums. The track titles are: B1 Billie's Blues 11:28 B2 Lover Come Back To Me 6:35
