YouTube - Billie Holiday - Fine and Mellow (1957)
Billie sings with Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Gerry Mulligan, Roy Eldridge, Doc Cheatham, Vic Dickenson, Danny Barker, Milt Hinton, and Mal Waldron - a group that makes the term "all-star" seem paltry - in this video (kinescope, more than likely) of a 1957 TV performance. Too bad it doesn't stream more smoothly (or didn't, at least, when I saw it) but even so it's not to miss.
