Billie Holiday
is in generally good form for this club appearance. On most of the selections she is accompanied by the
Carl Drinkard
Trio, but six others find her joined by
Buster Harding's Trio
. The great tenor
Stan Getz
sits in on three of these numbers, making the listener wish that he and
Lady Day
had collaborated more extensively. This set of standards (most of which had been recorded previously by
Holiday
) are not up to the quality of her
Decca
output but are enjoyable nevertheless. ~ Scott Yanow
