Young Anita

0 - Default Title
Description
Anita O'Day was the epitome of a jazz singer. In a career that stretched for over 60 years, Anita was God's honest performer, a vocal risk taker who kepts her audiences in suspense, whether or not she'll make it, in other words a true jazz performer. This fearless and frank artist changed each song into a personal piece of music that fits no other performer. This box features 88 tracks and follows her early adventures with Gene Krupa from 1941-42 and moves through the rest of the '40s with her work with Stan Kenton and her solo sides. The booklet tells her story and provides track and session details as well as including many archive images. "Both as an interpreter of lyrics, and as a virtuoso of that most treacherous of jazz temptations, the instrument-mimicking style of scat. O'Day was a supreme improviser" (John Fordham - The Guardian)
