Mar 6, 2010 - Maybe she was born Eleanora Fagan Gough, maybe she took the name Billie Holiday after her admiration of a movie star - Billie Dove. Later on maybe nicknamed "Lady day" by Lester Young!

Jul 21, 2010 - "The blues, to me, is like, being very sad, very sick...or in the church, being very happy. There's two kinds of blues: there's happy blues, and there's sad blues. I don't think I ever sing the same way twice. I don't think I ever sing the same tempo. One night, it's a little bit slow, the next night, it's a little bit brighter- it's according to how I feel. I don't know- the blues is sort of a mixed-up thing. You just have to feel it. Anything I do sing, it's part of my life."

fromthesidelines Says:

Jul 21, 2010 - Gerry Mulligan IS featured here, 'cholo'...as well as Young, Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Roy Eldridge, Doc Cheatham, Milt Hinton, Vic Dickenson, et. al.- this was an "all-star" session.

Aug 10, 2011 - Saw a ladies of jazz netflix movie containing one Lady Day song from this set. whoever owns the whole concert no doubt will cash in big, given the perfect performances of all the jazz musicians.
