Exclusive live performance of this elusive American jazzsinger Anita O'Day and her trio at the North Sea Jazz Festival, The Hague, The Netherlands, 18 July 1982.
Anita O'Day (born Anita Belle Colton; October 18, 1919 - November 23, 2006) was an American jazz singer widely admired for her sense of rhythm and dynamics, and her early big band appearances that shattered the traditional image of the "girl singer".
Refusing to pander to any female stereotype, O'Day presented herself as a "hip" jazz musician, wearing a band jacket and skirt as opposed to an evening gown. She changed her surname from Colton to O'Day, pig Latin for "dough", slang for money
Along with Mel Tormé Anita O'Day is often grouped with the West Coast school of jazz.
See also Mel Tormé's performance elsewhere on World of Jazz.
Anita O'Day sings:
Wave (Antonio Carlos Jobim)
You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To (Cole Porter)
In A Mellow Tone (Duke Ellington)
A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square (Eric Maschwitz, Manning Sherwin)
They Can't Take That Away From Me ((Ira & George Gershwin)
Honeysuckle Rose (Fats Waller, Andy Razaf)
Wave (Reprise) (Antonio Carlos Jobim)

She is /was BRILLIANT. What a phenomenal talent. Incredible musicianship... She was so inventive and in TOTAL control of her instrument and her combo. One of the GREATEST ever.

Wow! Anita O Day reached another level of comfort, Can you imagine? How many times she has sang "You'd Be So Nice To Come To" perfectly as written? On this performance she took some very bold rhythmic and melodic freedoms! I like how she says at the end "YOU'LL NEVER HEAR THAT VERSION AGAIN! RIGHT?" She knows it! Jazz is the Art of Improvisation! "Never the same way twice" is what they would say about Louis Armstrong's Music. This here is the true spirit of Jazz. I've seen a bunch of Anita o' Day's live performances, especially the black and white ones, and I had never seen her this facially expressive. Maybe she WAS extra inspired. But wow. It takes another level of comfort and melodic control, plus understanding of the music to do something like that. Very entertaining. She is one of the best

You got to love her !!!! She is not about getting on the train and pay your ticket she makes demands on the tunes and makes it interesting for the audience and making the trio listen. She reminds me of a trip I took from LA to Seattle on the starlight express and I was playing for the trains workers in the dinning car coming into the last station. An elderly lady came walking in hand and hand with a small boy. She looked at me and said; "I never did this for my grandson before." And she sang; "There was a Boy!!!" I knew it was in Eminor but it is a strange song and I played every chord I could imagine and she followed me perfectly. She had an amazing voice and I said; "You are a pro!" She answers yes but retired.

@@paulwickline7434 I have to respectfully disagree. Her clever and artful note choices required confidence and trust she had not built or earned with the trio. Ending tunes on other than a diatonic note only works when the trio has the ears to adjust - ending Wave and You’d be So Nice in this way resulted in “train wrecks” because the pianist and bassist either didn’t know what she was doing or they decided to hang her out to dry. The tension on stage is clear. These folks were not getting along. I’ll almost bet she didn’t make rehearsal, or if she did, she didn’t take it seriously. She may or may not have been under influence of one or more substances that day.
