EU-only live archive release that contains a rarely heard performance given by Billie Holiday at the Stratford Shakespearean Festival, in Ontario, Canada, in 1957. As a bonus, we have added Holiday's complete Monterey Jazz Festival concert from the following year, featuring horn men Gerry Mulligan, Benny Carter and Buddy DeFranco. To round out our CD, we have selected four additional Billie Holiday live sets in their entirety, including her two songs at the Plaza Hotel in 1958, and three hard to find broadcasts: her only known recordings with the Percy Faith orchestra (1956), an obscure 1957 broadcast from Mr. Kelly's in Chicago with Paul Quinichette, and her three songs on the London TV show Chelsea at Nine, in 1959, which marks one of the final recordings of her career.
