Our Take

Anita O'Day, the legendary jazz vocalist, takes on the timeless tunes of Oscar Peterson in her latest album, "Anita O'Day Sings for Oscar." And let me tell you, it's a whirlwind of swing, sass, and sensational scats.

From the moment O'Day's velvety voice hits your ears, you're transported to a smokey, dimly lit jazz club where the martinis are cold and the music is hot. With each track, O'Day effortlessly glides through Peterson's intricate arrangements, adding her own flair and personality to every note.

The album kicks off with the classic "Love You Madly," setting the tone for what's to come. O'Day's smooth vocals dance around the melody, while Peterson's piano accompaniment provides the perfect backdrop.

But it's not all smooth sailing; O'Day shows her range with the playful "Honeysuckle Rose" and the heartbreaking "Lush Life." Each song is a masterclass in storytelling, with O'Day's emotive delivery leaving you hanging on her every word.

Overall, "Anita O'Day Sings for Oscar" is a must-listen for jazz enthusiasts and newcomers alike. With O'Day's impeccable vocals and Peterson's stellar arrangements, this album is a true gem in the jazz world. So grab a cocktail, sit back, and let Anita O'Day take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
