*Billie Holiday – Verve Jazz Masters 12* (1994) is a compilation album featuring some of Holiday’s finest recordings from her years with Verve Records in the 1950s. Part of the *Verve Jazz Masters* series, this collection highlights her late-period vocal style—more fragile and emotionally raw, yet deeply expressive.
The album includes jazz standards like “Lover Man,” “Don’t Explain,” and “God Bless the Child,” showcasing her unique phrasing, emotional depth, and intimate delivery. While her voice had lost some of its earlier clarity, the performances are filled with soul and honesty, offering a moving portrait of a jazz icon in her final years.
