Anita O’Day – Anita O’Day Sings The Winners

49,99

For this 1958 LP, Anita O’Day sings standards associated with other musicians, including “Four” (Miles Davis), “Early Autumn” (Stan Getz), “Four Brothers” (Woody Herman), “Sing, Sing, Sing” (Benny Goodman and Gene Krupa) and “Peanut Vendor” (Stan Kenton). Some of the material is unusual for a singer to interpret, but O’Day, one of the top jazz vocalists of the decade, improvises when the lyrics are not that strong (or barely exist). The backup by the Russ Garcia Orchestra is not all that memorable, but the focus is entirely on the vocalist, and O’Day really comes through. [An expanded reissue nearly doubled the original running time with the addition of similar material from the late ’50s and early ’60s.]
