Billie Holiday - Lover Man (Live @ Seven Ages Of Jazz Festival) Metrojazz Records 1958

“Lover Man (Oh, Where Can You Be?)“ (often called simply “Lover Man“) is a 1941 popular song written by Jimmy Davis, Roger (“Ram“) Ramirez, and James Sherman. It is particularly associated with Billie Holiday, for whom it was written, and her version was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1989. Charlie Parker did a rendition of “Lover Man“, considered by many to be one of his most passionate recordings, during which he was horribly intoxicated. Parker himself considered it one of his most shameful moments. Billies’ accompanied by Buck Clayton (trumpet), Mal Waldron (piano), Milt Hinton (bass) and Don Lamond (drums). Recorded live at Seven Ages of Jazz concert, Oakdale Musical Theater, Wallingford. This concert was recorded and issued on LP as “Seven Ages of Jazz“ -- available now on CD as Jazz at the Philharmonic: The Billie Holiday Story, Vol. 1 [LIVE], September 26, 1958.
