The culmination of Anita O'Day's golden age of jazz vocals
A record of the mature singing of a female jazz singer who represents the bebop era.
This album, which fully demonstrates her unique scat singing and sense of rhythm, cultivated over her long career, is comprised of a selection of primarily standard numbers. As a representative recording that demonstrates the improvisational and expressive power of jazz vocals, it is an album of great historical value that has had a profound influence on subsequent singers.
