She sang a mix of great songs from the American Songbook, trite material that she was given by her management that she somehow managed to imbue with a lot of feeling and occasionally a controversial song such Strange Fruit. All of this material was interpreted by her in her innate jazz style. This involved subtle changes to the meter, small appropriate embellishments, the lengthening or shortening of the lyric writers original notes and always managing to dig deep into the meaning of the lyric.
