Rebecca Kilgore | The Harry Allen Quartet Live at Feinstein's at Loews Regency

Rebecca Kilgore: vocals (except tracks 8 and 10)
Harry Allen: tenor saxophone
Rossano Sportiello: piano
Joel Forbes: bass
Chuck Riggs: drums

As Will Friedwald writes in his album notes, Rebecca Kilgore's amazing musicianship and Harry Allen's art of playing behind a singer make it possible to show that the legacy of Holiday and Young is a living and vital thing in their performance recorded live at the celebrated New York nightclub, Feinstein's at Loews Regency. Steve Holden in his review in The New York Times wrote, "The show's avoidance of slavish imitation made for the best kind of tribute: one that captured the streamlined ease of performance in which Holiday and Young carried on a spontaneous private conversation, the saxophone running rings around her voice, supporting, commenting, joking, sympathizing and ultimately taking the lead in a sexy, lighthearted dance."
