Anita O'day is one of those jazz singers whose career never quite hit the heights of the greats (think Ella, Lady Day, Sarah Vaughan), but whose contribution to the music is considerable. Early records show a young woman with a big, powerful voice, and this later offering provides just as much punch, but with more finesse and style. The repertoire is great - all the classic Cole Porter songs are here - and the arrangements swing all the way. It's hardly revolutionary stuff, but then it is a hugely enjoyable jazz record that has given me several years of listening pleasure.
