Billie Holiday: Fine And Mellow

BillieHoliday2.jpg

Imagine it is 8 December, 1957 on the set of The Sound of Jazz... The Columbia Broadcasting System presents Billie Holiday with Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, Gerry Mulligan, Vic Dickenson and Roy Eldridge. You have a pack of Chesterfields and a bottle of bourbon. Now is the time at the Flea when we dance.

What the...? It stops after about 30 seconds. Is it just me or is that all there is???

I would try pausing the playback to give the clip time to download... It is the whole song and well worth the wait on a slower connection.

I think it is/was on the server end. I'm having the same problem on a different machine at a different location. Well that's not uncommon with video...

Beautiful track. Just gorgeous.
