For Lady

For Lady (subtitled songs Billie Holiday made famous... an instrumental tribute to her great talents) is an album by the American jazz cornetist Webster Young.

[1][2] It contains tracks recorded in 1957 for the Prestige label.

[3][4] AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars, with its review by Jim Todd stating: "While trumpeter Webster Young pays tribute to Billie Holiday on this, his only studio date as a leader, the set is equally a tribute to Young's musical role model, Miles Davis.

"[5] All About Jazz praised the album's "sleepy sadness," writing that "Young's approach to the trumpet was relaxed and steady ... bucking the trend toward the poker-hot heat beginning to be exhibited by Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard.
