An Evening With Anita

Description

Always admired for her sense of rhythm and dynamics, the great Anita O’Day (1919-2006) shattered the traditional image of the big band ‘girl singer’. Refusing to pander to any female stereotype, she presented herself as a ‘hip’ jazz musician, wearing a band jacket and skirt as opposed to an evening gown. Unable to sustain notes or use vibrato, O’Day used her clean sound to profound effect. ‘An Evening with Anita’ has her singing along with Jimmy Rowles, Barney Kessel, and Tal Farlow, among others.
