Billie Holiday- “Fine and Mellow”
This week on the Soothing the Beast BFP/Jamiol Music Pick we celebrate the 100th Birthday of Billie Holiday. It was actually last Tuesday but Saturday night at BFP is a nice place to kick back and enjoy her music. The song is Fine and Mellow and besides her great voice, there's some seriously great horn in this clip with the likes of Ben Webster, Lester Young, Gerry Mulligan and Coleman Hawkins working the saxophone. Vic Dickerson belts out on the slide trombone and Roy Eldrige brings it on with his trumpet...Enjoy...DJPJ
