This clip from 1957 highlights a reunion between Billie Holiday and tenor saxophonist Lester Young after several years of not working together. Her reaction to his solo is a touching tribute to their musical partnership. The rest of the backing combo is also populated by jazz heavy hitters such as Coleman Hawkins and Gerry Mulligan. Classic clip from '57 is followed by a few others from Billie Holiday.
