BILLIE HOLIDAY Fine and Mellow

You're watching "The Sound of Jazz," which aired on CBS television on Sunday, December 8, 1957 -- one of the few times American commercial  television has acknowledged jazz. Billie was accompanied by the Mal Waldron All-Stars: Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, and Ben Webster (tenor saxes); Gerry Mulligan (baritone sax); Roy Eldridge, Doc Cheatham (trumpets); Vic Dickenson (trombone); Mal Waldron (piano); Milt Hinton (bass); Danny Barker (guitar); and Jo Jones (drums). Watch how Billie beams when Lester Young solos!
