Fine and Mellow (song)
"Fine and Mellow" is a jazz standard written by Billie Holiday,〔Jacobs, Dick & Harriet. ''Who Wrote That Song?,'' Writers Digest Books (1994), page 70 - ISBN 0-89879-639-3〕 who first recorded it on April 20, 1939 on the Commodore label.〔(Fine and Mellow info )〕 It is a blues lamenting the bad treatment of a woman at the hands of "my man".
== Notable performances and recordings ==
The song was famously performed by Billie Holiday in 1957 in a television special, ''The Sound of Jazz''.〔(PBS )〕
The lineup included several jazz legends (the first six are listed in the order of their solos):
* Ben Webster – tenor saxophone
* Lester Young – tenor saxophone
* Vic Dickenson – trombone
* Gerry Mulligan – baritone saxophone
* Coleman Hawkins – tenor saxophone
* Roy Eldridge – trumpet
* Doc Cheatham – trumpet
* Danny Barker – guitar
* Milt Hinton – double bass

It has been covered several times, sometimes with a change in lyrics or emphasis. For example Lou Rawls switched the gender to a girlfriend〔(Amazon )〕 and Eva Cassidy sang it in a defiant tone. Notable cover versions were sung by Nina Simone (on the 1959 ''At Town Hall''), Dee Dee Bridgewater on her Billie Holiday tribute album, and Ella Fitzgerald on her eponymous album.
