2 Audio tracks. “Lover Come Back” and Ain’t Nobody’s Business”.

Review by Ted Goia in Jazz.com:

Musicians:
Billie Holiday (vocals), Stan Getz (tenor sax),
Buster Harding (piano), John Fields (bass), Marquis Foster (drums)
.
Composed by Sigmund Romberg and Oscar Hammerstein
.
Recorded: Live at Storyville, Boston, October 29, 1951
In October 1951, George Wein booked Billie Holiday to play at his Storyville nightclub in Boston, where she shared the bill with 24 year-old tenor saxophonist Stan Getz. Getz had modeled his sound on Lester Young, Holiday’s collaborator on many of her most celebrated recordings, and the idea of getting him to join her on stage for a few songs must have seemed an inspired move by all parties. The results - for once - more than lived up to the expectations. I can’t recall another Holiday recording from the 1950s where she sings with such energy and enthusiasm. Getz, for his part, only plays obbligato, but you can sense his pride at serving as President - or Prez, to be more specific - for a day. This shimmering track is not well known, but deserves a place in the Lady Day Hall of Fame.

Biography by Craig Lytle
Miki Howard grew up in the church, where both of her parents were gospel singers. Her mother was also a member of the gospel group the Caravans and was acquainted with various entertainers. Howard’s mother would take her to the homes of various stars such as Aretha Franklin and Mavis Staples.

While still in elementary school, Howard moved to Los Angeles with her mom. At the age of 15, she performed in a teen pageant. After the show, she met Side Effect member Augie Johnson, who happened to be in the audience and began working with Howard creatively. After a period of time, Howard became a Side Effect member — upon the departure of Sylvia St. James. Howard’s tenure with the group lasted a few years. During this time, she also had two children by Johnson. In addition to singing with Side Effect, she did background vocals for Wayne Henderson, Roy Ayers, Stanley Turrentine, and several other artists.

After leaving Side Effect, Howard signed a deal with Atlantic. Her first hit for the label was the Billboard R&B Top Ten single “Come Share My Love.” She followed that with the remake of Glenn Miller’s 1940 hit “Imagination.” Her success continued with two more Top Ten singles, “Baby Be Mine” and “That’s What Love Is.” The latter was a duet with Gerald Levert and was the result of the creative union Howard formed with Marc Gordon and Levert. Howard and Levert later became romantically involved, and that romance spawned one of Howard’s biggest hits, “Love Under New Management.” The song was written during their brief love affair, but was released after their romance had dissolved.

In 1990, Howard signed a deal with Giant, which facilitated the release of her number one smash hit “Ain’t Nobody Like You.” Howard’s lifeline at Giant was cut short due to an altercation her husband had at the label. She also made an appearance as Billie Holiday in a club scene in the Spike Lee movie Malcom X. Howard continued to issue albums throughout the ’90s and early 2000s, a few of them heavy on — or wholly reliant upon — covers. Her releases during these years included Femme Fatale (1992), Shining Through (1993), Live Plus (1996), Can’t Count Me Out (1997), Three Wishes (2001), and Pillow Talk (2006).

Derek often receives emails asking about the various Saxophones he plays, and also about other equipment matters of interest to all budding saxophonists like reeds and mouthpieces, etc.

In this Movie, Derek can be seen talking about each of the seven different saxophones he regularly plays, giving brief playing demonstrations on several of them.

The movie was shot at Jools Holland’s Helicon Mountain Recording Studios, London in February 2008.
