Billie Holiday - Fine and Mellow (1957)


Congregated after many years with the saxophonist Lester Young, the program of the CBS registered a memorable presentation of Billie Holiday (1915-1959) with metal ground. Introduced for Robert Herridge (producing and presenter of the program of the CBS " The Sound of Jazz"), this is perhaps most famous " jazz live program" of the North American TV. Other members of the band:
Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Gerry Mulligan, Roy Eldridge, Doc Cheatham, Vic Dickenson, Danny Barker, Milt Hinton, Badly Waldron.

It's my favourite Billie Holiday interpretation!
