Great O'Day!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Incomparable! (Audio CD)
Anita started the "cool" school of jazz singing - her vocalese & scatting is always musically right, and not just showing off. This album had a strange sound to it when first pressed on LP, but this CD transfer has corrected the flat sound that was inherent. Bill Holman's inventive arrangements propel Anita in one of the most creative sessions that she had for Verve. Anita was always miles ahead of her imitators, and always, the hippest chick in Jazz. And dig that groovy ice-blue eyeliner!

Glad I bought it,

Anita is the love of my life. I bought her a drink one night at NYC's Phat Tuesday's where she was working. Yes. I showed up again for her on night two. I also heard Anita one afternoon with Oscar Peterson at Saratoga Performing Arts. This CD passes muster. Everything she does has to be compared to her "Time For 2 Cal Tjaer" CD
Go buy it, folks. She truly is the greatest!!!!

Incomprable,
This review is from: Incomparable! (Audio CD)
I feared that I wouldn't find any quality Anita O'day music and fortunately was wrong. Of the many albums she cut in her day, "Incomprable" is as representative of Anita's style as one could find. Thanks to Amazon, there's no dearth of her music at very reasonable prices. I also recommend "Anita O'day Sings The Winners."

A work of jazz genius!,
This review is from: Incomparable! (Audio CD)
Anita described herself as a "song stylist" and a fellow jazz musician elaborated further by saying that Anita was a "instrument of jazz". This incredible album is some of the best vocal improvisation that the jazz world has brought us and showcases her deft manipulation of jazz rhythm and her unique vocal instrument. You will delight in this work and enjoy it for years to come!
I'm Hooked!!

The packaging of this album was a little disconcerting. Once all the pieces are in place, it's enjoyable listening.

The title said it all "Incomparable". Anita O'Day is just one fine "cool jazz" singer. Great music to enjoy!!!
