When Diana Ross portrayed Billie Holliday in the 1971 bio-pic LADY SINGS THE BLUES, she took a lot of heat from jazz purists who felt that her vocals lacked the essential Holliday spirit. Twenty-one years later, she turned the tables on them with a triumphant one night only concert of Holliday songs and standards, recorded for both CD and video.
Here Ross is backed, variously, by a small combo and a big band, both featuring a veritable Who's Who of jazz musicians. Her singing is perfection; you could be excused for thinking she was actually channeling Lady Day.
