What a difference O’Day makes!! AVID Jazz here presents four classic Anita O’Day albums on a finely re-mastered and low priced double CD. ‘Anita Sings The Most’, ‘The Lady Is A Tramp’, ‘An Evening With Anita O’Day’ and ‘Anita’. Born in Chicago, Anita O’Day cut her musical teeth in the 1940’s playing with the Gene Krupa Band and the Stan Kenton Band during which time she had her first widespread successes with ‘And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine’ and ‘Tampico’ which allowed her to head out on her own as a single act. Using a wide range of musical accompanists including the Oscar Peterson Trio, Barney Kessel Jimmy Rowles, Tal Farlow and Roy Eldridge, our four classic albums highlight a unique singing talent that put Anita up there with Billie, Ella and Mildred Bailey and went on to influence such great singers as June Christy and Chris Connor. All four albums have been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest sound quality ever!
