5.0 out of 5 stars one of the greatest voices of swing, July 7, 2000

I've listened to this CD hundreds of times. It's highly energetic ! To my humble opinion, Anita's powerful voice is surely comparable in quality to that of Billie Holliday. People who don't particularly enjoy big bands may feel there's too much brass in the music and not fully appreciate this CD. Anyway, for someone who likes swing, it's definitely worth buying. What a voice !

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice overview of her Gene Krupa years..., March 3, 2000

Not nearly as juicy as her Verves from the 50's & 60's, but historically important and still highly enjoyable sides none the less. Worth getting if you're a fan of swing era singers or Anita O'Day.
