Original Grooves: Billie Holiday - Nina Simone - Bettye LaVette brings together three iconic voices in jazz for a truly unique listening experience. Featuring the timeless artistry of Billie Holiday and Nina Simone, this album bridges generations as Bettye LaVette, a Blues Hall of Fame member and five-time Grammy nominee, delivers compelling reinterpretations of both "Strange Fruit" and "I Hold No Grudge." Released by Verve Records in 2020, it’s a distinct celebration of jazz history and soulful expression.
What sets this album apart is the innovative "parallel grooves" technology, offering listeners a different experience depending on where the needle drops—revealing either the legendary original tracks or LaVette’s powerful renditions, hidden side by side. This creative approach makes every playthrough a discovery, highlighting both the unmistakable voices of jazz’s greats and the continued relevance of their music today.
