12 inch version?
[edit]so what happened to this album after the 10inch format was phased out? here's a few very different releases I've found (thanks to the Jazz Discography site):
side 1 of this 1956 split artist album contains 7 of the 8 songs: Billie Holiday/Ralph Burns Jazz Recital
side 1 of this 1957 compilation contains 6 of the 8 tracks: The Unforgettable Lady Day
side 4 of this 1976 various artists album contains all 8 tracks: Jazz at the Philharmonic: The Historic Recordings
side 1 of this 1981 Japanese album, with original title and artwork, contains all 8 tracks, plus 6 seemingly unrelated songs on side 2: Billie Holiday at Jazz at the Philharmonic (1981)
sidemen?
[edit]the list of sidemen listed in the original liner notes of this album, and the reissues noted above, is completely different from what we are showing on this page, they are as follows:
Milt Raskin - piano
Dave Coleman - drums
Red Callender - bass
Joe Guy - trumpet
Willie Smith - saxophone
I see the sidemen noted in this Wikipedia page match those listed in the Billie Holiday Songs sessionography site (1945 sessions, 1946 sessions), so presuming old liner notes are often incorrect and further research has since been done, I've left them as is.

Correction:
[edit]I have the original 10 inch as well as the Verve reissue. The concert was put out about 8 years after it was recorded. It was all done on one night in LA. You can see that in the reference to the Downbeat review. The liner notes were written by Norman Granz. I'm not sure where the musicians info above was received from, I'm holding the album (10") as I speak and the musicians listed are Milt Raskin piano, Willie Smith alto, Red Callender bass and Dave Coleman drums. I'm Dave Coleman's son and I have the letter from Norman Granz telling my dad he was putting the album out with a check stub for $60 if I remember correctly. A lot of these tunes were done with lots of musicians, but the ones on the 10 inch album are as I have listed above done in one night. I think the cover is a favorite as it has been used on a few compilations. In fact the Verve reissue I have has the 10 inch tunes on one side and a whole bunch of others on the 2nd side with the same cover and liner notes as the 10 inch. Go figure.
