What a difference O'Day makes!!AVID Jazz here presents four classic Anita O'Day albums on a finely re-mastered and low priced double CD. Anita Sings The Most', The Lady Is A Tramp', An Evening With Anita O'Day' and Anita'.Born in Chicago, Anita O'Day cut her musical teeth in the 1940's playing with the Gene Krupa Band and the Stan Kenton Band during which time she had her first widespread successes with And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine' and Tampico' which allowed her to head out on her own as a single act.Using a wide range of musical accompanists including the Oscar Peterson Trio, Barney Kessel Jimmy Rowles, Tal Farlow and Roy Eldridge, our four classic albums highlight a unique singing talent that put Anita up there with Billie, Ella and Mildred Bailey and went on to influence such great singers as June Christy and Chris Connor.All four albums have been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest sound quality ever! Review: The is an amazing collection of Anita O'Day from the 50's - I have heard this great jazz singer many times before but I have had all of her albums. I bought this mp3 set of 4 original LPs and so far the sound is very clean and she is in great voice. The selections are well known and covered by many other artists, but in my opinion there is only one Anita. The musicians are top flight in my view. I can recommend this to anyone Review: Buy This Now!!!!! - This 4 album set is a steal at $13. Any sane Anita fan would grab it immediately before it's too late. You get Anita's 1st, 3rd and 5th Verve releases and also her final disc from Norman Granz's Norgran label just before they started the verve label together the next year. I must differ with some of the other reviewers who dismiss "The Lady is a Tramp". It has a very interesting history and is definitely worth a listen. Its 12 songs were recorded in 1952. 4 of them feature Roy Eldridge. 8 of these songs were released as "Anita O'Day Collates" in 1953. It was a 10" disc. In 1955 it was released with all 12 tunes and finally again in 1957 as Anita's 3rd Verve release finally titled "The Lady is a Tramp". In my opinion, some of it has sort of a "Kentonesque" feel. The track entitled "Lullaby of the Leaves" is a definite highlight. This disc can't match the other 3 but is has some great tracks and fills in a gap in a tough period of her career. "An Evening with Anita O'Day" was recorded in 1954/1955 and released on Norgran in 1956. It has a great dreamy feel. This one might be my favorite. "Anita" was recorded in late 1955 and released in 1956 as not only her first Verve release but the first Verve release period. This one might be my favorite. Finally, you get "Anita Sings the Most". Recorded and released in 1957. Anita is accompanied by the great Oscar Peterson. What can I possibly add to that? The last 3 all indispensable. This is a great set. The packaging is practical and arrived with no damage. The liner notes of the 4 original albums are included as are the original cover designs. The set is also digitally remastered.

Anita is spot ON !
I love Anita O'Day. I love her phrasing, her scat singing, her voice. I watch her on YouTube and she is spot ON. This four album C.D. would be a fine introduction for soon to be Anita fans or ones who already are.

What a bargain!!
There's no need to go into how great Anita O'Day is. All I can say about this collection is that it is an amazing bargain! Four of her classic albums on two CD's--WOW. The booklet contains the original LP liner notes for each album. I highly recommend this collection if you are looking to kick start your O'Day album collection!

If. You love jazz,listen to these giants.
Just great to listen to a true jazz singer, quite similar to my other fie ,fine female jazz singers,June Christy,Chris connor and Billie holiday. Diana krall is on the door step to greatness. I’ve been following her for 15 years or so And unique because of her great voice, plays a terrific piano if

Wow!!!!!!
I'd heard her name over the decades because i am a jazz enthusiast . When the documentary came out a couple , several years ago , i really wanted to see it . I finally did , thanks to my exclusive club called " " . I was not really knocked out by that docu . I was ignorant . No longer . Because i got this set , i am no longer as ignorant . That's a start . Man , (or woman) you've got to get your hands on this awesome gold . To my ear , it's instantly one of my favorite collections ever . If inclined , check it out . It's well into that place we know as "wonder" . Killin' and swingin' and so on . Apply your own adjectives . But do apply . Six enormous stars .

High Times...
This is volume one of a 4-part Avid series of O'Day Verve releases plus some nice trimmings. Very worthwhile. Check out her autobiography sometime. She doesn't hold much back.

La réédition de ces disques permet de découvrir la talentueuse chanteuse quant on est d'une génération trop jeune pour l'avoir connu à l'époque!

Bonne collection pour un bon prix. Inclus un de ses meilleurs albums; sings the most. les autres, par moment un peu monotone.

Bought this after watching a warts and all (first female singer to be imprisoned for possession of drugs) programme about Anita . To me, she is the epitome of a female jazz singer (machine gun lyrics included). A huge star in my collection and regularly played. If ya like jazz you'll like this.

幼児期にノドの手術を受け、声の帯域が狭く声量もなく、ロングトーン、、ヴィブラートも使えないという歌手としては致命的なハンディを負ったアニタ・オディが、天性のリズム感を武器にノドを楽器として使いこなし、スキャットをはじめ独自のジャズボーカルを完成させた４０歳前後の作品を編集したアルバム。誰もが認めるノーマン・グランツのプロデュースも最高で、オスカー・ピーターソン・トリオをはじめとする一流のサイドメンバーをバックに、アニタが伸び伸びと歌いまくっている。特に「Tenderly」や「I can't get started」等のバラードにおける色っぽさ！アニタに対する好悪が極端に分かれるのも、この個性を認めるかどうかにあるのだろうな。私はもちろん大好き！！！
