Billie Holiday and Lester Young are fine examples of artists who have personal lives that are chaotic and constantly unstable. They understand that their best love can only consumated with each other through making music in a studio. This album is the evidence of that regularly consumated affair.

It's clear how Holiday and Young bring out the best in each other as they trade back and forth through these songs. In the recording studio the couple could defy the chaos of their lives and transcend the everyday. They lost touch with each other over the next 15 years but reunited briefly for a moving performance of 'fine and mellow' in 1957
