Billie Holiday at Art Ford's Jazz Show (Part Two)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- 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".

When I was 18 I bought my 1st tenor sax. I plowed my way to learn jazz standards, with Billie holiday as my main influence. When I was 40 I got fired from my factory job, thought it was one if the worse days of my life,, turned out to be one of the best days.and never got another viable job since. However, I was freed up to embark upon a career as a street musician. Mostly in Roanoke va, and Savannah ga. But some in New Orleans, Memphis, LA, San Diego , as well as many cities in the US , in Canada and Mexico. But holiday was with me the whole way. I was a practicing alcoholic until I turned 38. I aways thought I'd have to take a drink before playing in public, but the opposite was true. but, Ms Holiday was a huge factor in my recovery. Is as if she warned me not to take the road she did as I felt her presence close to me.i loved her madly.
Love seeing you Billie. I love you Billie. I always have.
THE BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL BILLIE HOLIDAY, FOREVER !!!!
God Bless her, she is so easy to remember and so hard to forget. So thin and I'm sure not well at all, but still beautiful in song and face. In so many ways God blessed this child.
💖
@@monicabella7894 Lady Day is the best! She was a Master at her craft. I wish I could've seen her perform but I was born too late darn it. I was only months old when she passed away.😺
❤️
Que bella forma de describir a la amada Billie.
Engraved on my heart and soul forever, Billie.
The slight raising on her eyebrow and cool approach .... just wonderful
Love you Billie.
Soooooo Beautiful
Jll.love.billy.forevermore
You can clearly see guitarist Mary Osborne in the background…What a great concert! 👍👍👍👍
She had pure magnetism and magic that makes your give her all your attention and observation. A rare sensation that will live on through her gifts she left behind.
Love Billie Holiday
Wonderful
She has SO many songs she owned and no one else could come close to including this gem. She was always chic and turned out beautifully and a riveting performance; it's impossible to take one's eyes off her. I have everything she ever recorded, including unreleased sides, and she was incapable of making a boring record. Even when she recorded a song several times every version is unique. Compare "God Bless The Child" on Columbia, Decca and Verve. Among the greatest singers on the planet she was always the favorite and the role model, and that includes Mr. Sinatra and Miss Lee and Miss Dinah Washington.
In this clip it's like you can see the spirit of death hovering over her yet she is still magnificent. I will always love her artistry, personally and the woman herself. A testament of how greatness is that decades after her passing people are still captivated by all things Lady Day.
Oh PUHLEASE. Ain’t no spirit of nothing hovering over her. We can see a woman, singing and enjoying singing music she likes. Give it a rest, BH was NOT. Tragic figure as much as you people want her to be one
@@dddddadadad1796 Oh PUHLEASE don't expect SheSpeaks or anyone else- okay, ME- not to believe our own eyes. She is clearly on the way out.
Hard to imagine more fitful voice for Jazz music.
she’s my fav of all times
alongside with nina simone
even the collar like mic is splendid ❤️❤️❤️
It's crazy how Nina Simone said she didn't like Billie but Ik they both are in heaven together singing 😭
She Is Graceful, and Miss Lady Day will always be a Legend. I can remember when my grandfather and my father as well as i today would sit back and just take inher music. Miss Lady Day is true to Jazz.
I love you Lady Day🌸RIP🌹🌺
Me too..
Billie Holiday is a national tressure
I Love Billie Holiday 😍.. R.I.P. Lady Day 🌺.
People who have only heard her are shocked when they finally see her. They never seem to anticipate seeing a beautiful woman elegantly gowned and coiffed, slim and sexy. She was that until the end.
Wayne Brasler nice comment
Except her 'slim' and 'sexy' appearance was a pure by-product of her drug dependency and of her impending organ failure. One should not consider her illness as sexy.
@@TGTSTS she was beautiful and sexy b4 she was an addict
@@rpatten78 Yes, before drugs and alcohol became her constant companions, Lady Day was a beautiful lady. Check out The Many Faces of Lady Day by Robert O' Meally.
True superstar, wow.... She was definitely ahead of her time. So many beautiful tunes and hits to remember this legend. She sung like a real instrument. I’m only in my 30s, but so amused by this woman and her capabilities and the gems she left for all of us to enjoy.
Happy Birthday, legend 🖤🤍
Wonderful performance. Here she's really carrying the torch. She is even more swinging than ever!!! Wonderful timing Lady!!!!!!!! Swing, slow swing, happy swing, half time, great timing, impressive and exciting.
THE QUEEN OF JAZZ.......RIP BILLI AND ROY ELDRIDGE HER TRUMPET PLAYER.....LITTLE JAZZ FOR THOSE WHO REMEMBER. THANK YOU BILLI
Priceless.
Amazing... unparalleled voice.
Edgar Pierre, Unparalleled voice? What does that mean?
Pure Talent ❤
Absolutely amazing..Thank u
Beautiful
'Well -- When everything's allright with Billie Holiday, ev'rythin's awright with jazz -- --'
What a little moonlight can do! She’s loving this!
She’s not bc she hated that song lol
My Cousin Hip Me To Ms. Holiday In My Early 20's. I Had To Grow To appreciate Billie Holiday! Mr. Berry Gordy Jr. Really SPOT LIGHTED MS. LADY DAY FOR THE WORLD!!!
Of Course, Ms. Diana Ross.
Билли Холидей!❤️🌹это великолепно будет всегда!💎
cuando canta lo que puede hacer un poquito de luz de luna recuerdo lo hermoso que es vivir y sentir y amar
Her lifestyle had def. Impacted her beautiful voice heard years earlier.... She still sounds amazing but not like earlier years.... God Bless The Child ..... Her voice was tip top shape..... Amazing
You are so right, I don't know what it is exactly, but she sounds here like a replica of herself, her soul is not with " ït"
Here Lady is really sick. But she looks bad ‘cause of the terrible lights in the studio; there are photos taken in the same period in which she is absolutely beautiful. Her voice sounds here like the voice of the little girl who now she seems returned to be and in her deep never abandoned her.
LADY NEVER SOUNDED BETTER ...
JUST GREAT!!
awesome version of Easy To Remember!
Estas Deusas so nos dao
satisfacao quando as ouvimos
,Billie,Sassie,Ella,Aretha,etc.
Addiction is real 😭
This is glorious, despite the crummy audio, especially "It's Easy to Remember". She recorded this and "You've Changed" the following year for my all time favorite Lady Day album "Lady In Satin". Sadly, she died the same year it was released (1959), but not before claiming it was her favorite album as well.
Timothy Rogers, The original release date for Lady in Satan was June 1958.
Lady in Satin came out in 1958
Great to the End
Cool channel. Well done! We really liked it.
Her songs are so romantic!
Not sure but this was one of her last performances she died 1 year later July 17, 1959 of pulmonary edema and heart failure caused by cirrhosis of the liver. She was ill from and had loss a lot of weight. Still stunning at graceful on stage.
Golden voice effortless to sing just like talking wheen she sings❤️❤️❤️🎶🎤🎶🎹🎼 I love Billy Holiday I always sing her songs 🎤
She was on heroin and the police killed her
Well thank you for that synopsis of lady day’s medical history 😐
She had more than that going on. Regardless I love her.
💗💗💗💗
💛💛💛💛💛
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
いいな～🎶
Lady Day In these clips was so weak, frail but strong waiting for God Holy Angels to received her in Heaven love you Billie Holiday, she sang because she knew she had to (Quote from Billie)
And the Angels singing got a little sweeter.
Girl. Hush
🖤❤️️🖤❤️️🖤
wowwowowowowowowowow
Maravillosa como siempre.
Muchas gracias por compartir la grabación.
Siempre impresionante!!
My father never watched TV unless it was Baseball or the Fights. But, I remember him commandeering the old Admiral for this program and I was not happy because Dobie Gillis or some other stupid show was on at the same time. So, with reluctance I watched it and after about a minute or so, I was transfixed before I knew what that meant. Something about her was so honest that no one has ever come close to duplicating in my humble opinion.
Art Ford says the broadcast is in stereo! Never knew they had stereo TV broadcasts back in 1958! Was this using a simultaneous stereo FM broadcast, or what? Anyway, it's Billie, and that's all that matters...
🙏🎧
The girl on the guitar looks like shes from 2021!!!!
Billy's magnificent voice defies the circa 1950's audio tech that mutilated the piano tones! Still, a truly historic performance!
This is so classic. Does anyone know who is playing guitar here?
mary osborne
Congratulations Andra Day, Best Actress, Golden Globe Awards 2021
F andra day. She looks like she smells
Just noticed she has a female guitar player in her band!
MARY OSBORNE .... so.talented and to much confidential !
Mal Waldron at the piano.
3 months later she was gone .......
She passed July 17th 1959 a year after this .
My very fave Liza song.
Mary Osbourne on guitar
I myself also thank U.
So great, thanks for posting ! Is the piano - player Mal Waldron ?
It's feminine and very cool🎉
What a superb performance. Sadly, Billie was living on borrowed time at this point in time.
Borrowed time? 🙄
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do to you
You're in love
Your heart's a flutter and all day long
You only stutter
'Cause your poor tongue
Just won't utter the words
I love you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
Wait a while
Till a little moonbeam comes peepin' through
You'll get bold
You can't resist him
And all you'll say
When you have kissed him is
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do to you
You're in love
Your heart's a flutter and all day long
You only stutter
'Cause your poor tongue
Just won't utter the words
I love you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
Wait a while
Till a little moonbeam comes peepin' through
You'll get bold
You can't resist him
And all you'll say
When you have kissed him is
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
That's Mary Osborne on guitar.
+Alain James Notice that, during "Easy to remember", when she sings "press me tight", the way she speaks "press" always makes Mary laugh! Why? Because NO SINGER could ever put that amount of charm in just one word! I love Mary's reaction!
Must have been a rare sight to see a female guitarist during this time.
Mary recorded some good records
🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
There’s no part one?
The Hulu Movie, United States vs Billie Holiday brought me here
Then you need to really feel unintelligent.
Try reading a few BOOKS about Ms. Holiday first. And learn her tru story.
Who is the guitar player?
she looks like she could have been sades mother sort of i know shes notbut they favor
Agreed.was thinking it yesterday
that must be Mary Osborne
Who is the GuitarPlayer?
Mary Osborne
I think te piano má nisso Teddy Wilson. Thanks
did she change clothes?
Billie looks like she's in ecstasy.
Nadie le hecho una mano para ayudarla a menos que sacasen tajada...RIP Lady!!
Ya, y la misma historia paso también con Amy Winehouse... Que triste.
Así es la solidaridad dentro de cierta industria musical y sobre todo de ciertas personas...tristisimo Barbara.
@@barbaragonzaleznegrin7211 ❤️
Whitney Houston was our version of Billie Holiday during our era....RIP to both.
This is a time document, but for me her singing is far away from her superiority until about 1952.
Yes, but she still couldn’t be anybody else!
❤ you forever BILLIE
Mary Osborne...
It would have been much better w/out the visual. She appears to have been drinking plus other ingredients, just enough to allow her to perform.
Could it get more stupid? !!!!!
Enidra Yadakcoh your nuts!
She probably had been drinking to curb the cravings for narcotics.
Girl. Here’s a tip. U didn’t have to watch it
It's a shame! So many Propaganda -Shit for the World War is in Glass-clear Quality. But you can't find Billie Holiday Footage in a special Quality. Her last apperance was in London 1959. But what a lousy Quality. Aired in b/w but a last great Statement from Lady Day. Please don't talk about me when I'm gone. No I don't but listen what you had saw.
who is the guitarist? Barney Kessel? It looks like a woman?
It is a woman, not Kessel! It's Mary Osborne.
THE JAZZ SINGER 🌹
Thanks so much for this great upĺoad.
