Comment:

That Anita O'Day was one hep chick!
She swung with Gene Krupa, Roy Eldridge, Nat King Cole, Benny Carter, Teddy Wilson; she got busted for marijuana in 1947 which the cops thought would do her in but her audience didn't care.
She's a scat vocaliste in a league with Ella Fitzgerald, which is as good as it gets, in my book.
She calls her own shots, takes a tune wherever she wants to go with it, rarely goes down the same road twice. This set of favorites are all from the 1940's, the earlier ones mostly w/ Gene Krupa & Roy Eldridge & then the later ones with a variety of other bands.

Fantastic subject for a mix, Jeff. Great songs and a hugely underrated singer.

Just great, Jeff, but I would expect no less from you (or from the lovely Miss O'Day). I love that version of Them There Eyes.

This looks fantastic. In fact, I'd like to trade for this... perhaps the James Chance comp for this one?
