This video focuses on one of the two broadcasts that still exist of Lady Day on Art Ford's critically acclaimed show, Jazz Party. Jazz Party, which debuted in May of 1958, was basically a ninety minute live television show showing the day's top musicians basically in a jam session. Many people were regulars such as Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, and Billie herself.
Billie was featured on the show four times, but there are only two broadcasts that survive, both from July of 1958. This particular broadcast is well known among Holiday fans from July 10, 1958.
The songs she sings are in order: "Foolin' Myself", "Easy to Remember", and "What a Little Moonlight Can Do".
