5.0 out of 5 stars
one of the greatest voices of swing, July 7, 2000
This review is from: Vol. 19 - Anita O'Day: La Selection 1941-1945 (Audio CD)
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 !

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.
