The Music of Billie Holiday and Lester Young Two of the greatest musicians of the 20th century, legendary singer Billie Holiday and tenor saxophonist Lester Young collaborated on a series of beloved recordings throughout the 1930s and 40s. Both cherished for their warm, unique sounds, the two shared a deep and enduring friendship along with their fruitful musical partnership.
