@BigTabby33 Ehm... BigT... writing this is one of the best performances by BH is rather rash, in my opinion...
Actually, it was recorded few months before her death, when her voice and timbre had almost completely been spoiled. This recording is well-known just because was her last but one, and has been recently reissued.
We can call it moving, intense, still strong in spite of everything, but certainly not BH at her best.
Perhaps the last great BH is on "Songs for distingué lovers" (1956).

One of the best performances by Lady Day, paired with an effective and sweeping orchestral score. This ballad hits deep and haunts you well after the last note.
