A wonderful jazz date with Anita O'Day
11/13/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Although this cd has a date of 2003 on the back and no other information is on the outer jacket, the music on this cd is actually a 1977 date(the year of my birth), it has more information on the inside than on the outside. Anita O'Day is in prime form for thsi 1977 session singing well known standards in her unique and chancetaking way. She improvises through 8 great tunes, O'day sounds particularly inspired on this set, and if you didn;t know it was recorded in 77, this sounds like it could be from the same period as her classic Verve 50's sessions, she sounds that great. This is one of her finest post Verve sessions and is well worth acquiring for the distinguished jazz listener."
