...Of Prez And Lady Day

  I've heard lots of people play tenor Sax, but nobody's played it better than Lester "Prez" Young.

  I've heard tons of jazz singers, but nobody's sung with more feeling than Billie Holiday.

  I've seen hundreds of videos on Youtube, but I doubt if any one of them's more hauntingly brilliant than this one.
