Paying homage to the great Lady Day, Jackie gives a powerful performance of her personal favourites from Holiday's iconic recordings. Featuring the classic Holiday signature songs "Body And Soul" and "Strange Fruit", Holiday's own compositions including "Don't Explain" and "Stormy Blues", plus tunes from Holiday's discography composed by Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Cole Porter.
Also featuring the talents of:
Carl Mackey - saxophone
