An Evening With Lena Horne

Two nights after the September 16 & 17th Carnegie Hall Blue Note performances, Lena performed the same show at a more intimate venue -- New York's Supper Club -- on September 19, 1994 and accompanied by the Count Basie Orchestra directed by Frank Foster. It was the the Carnegie Hall magic all over again and this time we had a camera crew to capture the entire event -- available now for the first time on this DVD. The repertoire is mostly from the We'll Be Together Again album, with the special bonus of the newly-constituted Basie band. This was to be Lena's final concert performance and in every respect it's a stunning summation to a most extraordinary career.
