In My Solitude: The Billie Holiday Songbook is a 1994 jazz album by Terence Blanchard and Jeanie Bryson, released on the Columbia label.

Terence Blanchard plays soothing, appealing ballads, uptempo tunes and wonderful melodies on muted and open horn, cleanly and fully hitting high and low notes, while executing mellow or intense statements smoothly and with flair. His guest vocalist Jeanie Bryson singing immortal compositions previously made anthems by legend Billie Holiday.
