What a line-up in this video! Billie Holiday singing with Ben Webster -- tenor saxophone, Lester Young -- tenor saxophone, Vic Dickenson -- trombone, Gerry Mulligan -- baritone saxophone, Coleman Hawkins -- tenor saxophone, Roy Eldridge -- trumpet, Doc Cheatham -- trumpet, Danny Barker -- guitar, Milt Hinton -- double bass, Mal Waldron -- piano and Osie Johnson - drums A singer's dream combo. It just can't get any better. What an inspiration for 'Lady Day'. Just look at the expressions on her face. She expresses ten levels of emotions as she listens to her side-men - total respect!
