An Evening with Billie Holiday (MG C-144) is the second 10 inch LP studio album by jazz singer Billie Holiday, released by Clef Records in 1953.
In 1956, when the 10inch format was phased out, the album was reissued by Clef with the same artwork, and seven of the eight tracks, as a twelve-inch LP called A Recital By Billie Holiday (MG C-686). The track "Tenderly", was moved to another 12 inch compilation called Solitude. Five additional tracks were added that had been previously released on her third 10"LP, simply titled Billie Holiday.
The personnel of the original 10"LP are from two different recording dates, with different musicians. The 12" LP adds one track from each of the two sessions, as well as three tracks from a 1954 session.
