Anita O'Day - Anita O'Day (Remastered) (2012)

One of the greatest of all American jazz singers, Anita O'Day shattered the typical "girl singer" stereotype and presented herself instead as a hip jazz musician, whose skills in improvisation cemented her stature among the pioneers of be-bop and the West Coast "cool" school. Presented here is a classic O'Day album originally recorded in 1977 featuring just a trio as back-up, resulting in an intimate affair that best captures the artistry of this wonderful vocalist. Featuring Merrill Hoover (piano); George Morrow (bass) and John Poole (drums). All selections newly remastered.
