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 Great introduction to a great singer, April 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: This Is Anita (Audio CD)
There are a lot of standards on this CD which are rather tame compared with Anita O'Day's repertoire. But it it is a great intoduction to this great jazz singer who could sing fast, slow, scat and recreate any song a thousand ways. This one swings and relaxes at the same time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The great Anita O'Day., December 14, 2006
This review is from: This Is Anita (Audio CD)
This is one of the best jazz albums ever made, period. O'Day uses her voice like a soprano saxophone. Every interpretation is completely original. O'Day went through many phases in her career - big band soloist, club singer, improvising sensation of the Newport Jazz Festival - but this is her at the top.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Top, November 26, 2008
This review is from: This Is Anita (Mlps) (Audio CD)
In addition to being a top jazz album it is one of THE best vocal albums. If I were encouraging a young singer interested in jazz and musical taste, this is the place to start and the place to finish. And the musicians and arrangements, and the selection of tunes, are all first rate.
