Biography

Anita O'Day, American jazz singer, was born in 1919. She pushed the envelope, wearing coats and skirts instead of evening gowns, becoming a hip female musician.

She was born Anita Belle Colton, and renamed herself O'Day, pig latin for "dough" or money. She also earned the nickname "The Jezebel of Jazz" due to her ongoing problems with heroin and alcohol addiction and erratic behavior.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice set of Anita O'Day standards... and some rarites too..., May 30, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Recordings, 1949-1950 (Audio CD)
This is a great set, that finds Anita in her young prime, highlights include a swingin' version of "Them There Eyes" as well as many other O'Day standards, and a few rarities such as "I Apologize." This well rounded set is highly recommeded, as is just about anything else this living jazz legend recorded.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the only original white jazz singers., December 30, 2010

This review is from: The Complete Recordings, 1949-1950 (Audio CD)
I can only think of two white jazz singers who had an original style, Mildred Bailey and Anita O'Day. About this time Ms. O'Day stopped singing with the big swing bands which she had been associated with from the early 40's and started to record with smaller groups. Her totally original sound really begins to blossom during this period and it is interesting to compare these recordings with her later work at Verve with Norman Granz. I can't think of any O'Day recordings that I wouldn't recommend and this group of standards is no exception.
