The Lady Sings... Jazz and Blues: Stolen Moments was recorded at the Ritz Theatre in New York City on December 4, 1992. The nineteen Jazz standards, which are highly associated with the late Billie Holiday, had been sung by the Motown diva twenty years before for the soundtrack of her award-winning film Lady Sings the Blues. With Ross in her element, obviously enjoying the moment, and with this elegant venue imbued with the smoke and mirrors of yesteryear, her performance utterly transcends a mere concert setting and becomes, truly, the performance of a lifetime.
