Session #3 New York 02/July/1935, Teddy Wilson & his Orchestra (Brunswick)

Roy Eldridge (tp) Benny Goodman (cl) Ben Webster (ts) Teddy Wilson (p) John Truehart(g) John Kirby (b) Cozy Cole (d) Billie Holiday (v)

This is an historic session: the first Billie collaboration with Teddy Wilson. 


(MT 4) What A Little Moonlight Can Do – I don’t appreciate this song that Billie recorded also in 1954 (see MT #245) with similar results. (The lyrics? Ooh, ooh, ooh oohhh, what a little moonlight can do… hmmm).

Maybe because the fast tempo, Billie included this tune frequently in her shows; there are other seven live registers.




(I Wished On The Moon * this is a good song from the well-known composers Ralph Rainger & Dorothy Parker. It was not easy in those days for a black singer to get nice songs to record, because of the music publishers’ power. Nevertheless Hammond found this one for Billie, worth a star.
