Jazz Icons: Anita O’Day- Live In ‘63 ‘70brJazz Icons: Anita O’Day boasts two wonderful concerts from 1963 and 1970 that present the ‘jazz singer supreme’ in impeccable form. O’Day’s horn-based approach to singing is in full effect throughout both shows including stand-out renditions in each show of audience favorites ‘Tea For Two’ and ‘Sweet Georgia Brown’ (both reprised from her triumphant appearance at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival.) This DVD is a fitting testimony to one of jazz music’s true originals and shows unequivocally why she is ranked in the top tier of vocalists along with Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Billie Holiday.brbrbrThe release of the fourth installment of the Jazz Icons series now brings it up to 30 separate DVDs and over 40 hours of vintage jazz performances, making this the most comprehensive music DVD series of any genre. Reelin’ In The Years who produced the Jazz Icons series are also responsible for the Grammy-nominated American Folk Blues Festival series, the multi-platinum selling Definitive Motown series (Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson The Miracles) and the British Invasion series (Small Faces, Gerry The Pacemakers, Dusty Springfield, and Herman’s Hermits.) As in all of their projects, each DVD is produced with the full support and cooperation of the artists or their estates.

Anita O’Day deserves a lot more love. As fluid as Ella, as daring as Billie, and sassy as Sarah, she deserves a cult of young followers who may’ve found inspiration in new virtuosos like Bjork, Erykah Badu, and Cat Power. So heads-up, it’s time to learn from a maestro.br /br /In this fantastic DVD O’Day is virtually a one-woman band with her precision timing, saxophonic phrasing, crowd charming, and fiesty asides. She’s backed by solid bands but she’s clearly the engine driving this express. We’re lucky to see two concerts here bookending the 60’s which act as a master class in first class vocalese. Anita had the complex rhythmic sense of Gene Krupa and the liquid instincts of John Coltrane, all while she was singing a melodic tune. In a male field, she held her own with her whipsmart musicianship and earned deep respect from her legendary peers. Watch how she turns “Sweet Georgia Brown” into a bop opera. Or “Tea For Two” into a gatling gun of fireworks. Astounding. If you want to learn from the best, here’s where you start…
