“When I’m singing, I’m happy. I’m doing what I can do and this is my contribution to life”.
— Anita O’Day
Anita O’Day’s unique sound and swinging rhythmic sense put her in the upper echelon of jazz singers, as skillful with ballads as with Songbook and jazz standards. She stints with the Gene Krupa, Woody Herman and Stan Kenton before launching out as a soloist.
Vanessa Greenway and friends pay tribute to the extraordinary, enigmatic, always intriguing Anita O’Day.
