Jul 26, 2008 - Ben Webster was a beast on that sax! In my opinion, one of the best sax solos in the history of music.

Jul 26, 2008 - Hiya! Milt Hinton is on bass and Osie Johnson is playing drums. The session is listed here as 1944, but it was recorded on the 8th of December 1957 for a TV film called, 'The Sound Of Jazz' If you wanna get to know Billie, read Julia Blackburn's 'With Bille' (Vintage Books). she comes across as a wonderful woman aswell as the greatest singer ever recorded.

Jul 26, 2008 - This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever recorded. Lester Young's solo is pure blues.

Kallestina Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Billie Holiday - Lady Day - is outstanding as a vocalist. Her life was much of a hard struggle against strong forces, among them apartheid policy. What a talented artist she was, here together with some of the absolutely best.

pharaohhousecrash Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - He shines amongst some very bright stars. Not to be too muso, but the six offbeat notes right at the end of his solo get me every time!
