MUST SEE TV

Billie Holiday, Ben Webster, Lester Young, Roy Eldridge, and Gerry Mulligan. 1957. This is good, and stays good for seven minutes. It's as if each guy is trying to woo Holiday with their solo, like some sort jazz version of "The Dating Game". Her facial expressions during the solos are goosebump material.
