Lisa appears on the BBC documentary "Queens of Jazz" which is a celebration of some of the greatest female jazz singers of the 20th century. It takes an unflinching and revealing look at what it actually took to be a jazz diva during a turbulent time in America's social history - a time when battle lines were being constantly drawn around issues of race, gender and popular culture.
This is a documentary about how these women triumphed - always at some personal cost - to become some of the greatest artists of the 20th century; women who chose singing above life itself because singing was their life. Here's a little clip of Lisa talking about her first memory of hearing Billy Holiday and how she made her feel at the time.
