Anita O'day One

Today is day two of my investigation of musicians I wasn't familiar with who appear in the movie "Jazz On A Summer's Day." On day two I present day one of some music by singer Anita O'Day.

In the movie Ms. O'day started off solo singing a version of Sweet Georgia Brown so slow as to be almost unrecognizable. It was gripping and somehow swinging, despite moving along at about forty beats per minute. Her delightfully off-kilter phrasing and teeth are what stood out most for me. But seriously folks, I loved every minute Anita O'Day appeared on that screen on that stage in that movie. Research for this playlist was a joy. Yesterday I was only able to sift through four of the eighteen O'Day releases that are Rhapvailable. More to come as my research continues...
