I met Anita the first time in 1970 in Hawaii after I married her drummer John Poole.

The connection between all four is amazing. Their timing is impeccable. Anita is such a strong leader. And they are so free, spontaneous and unselfish in their playing (including Anita). It doesn't get any better.

Queen O'Day is swing/jazz master. Learn and respect her. She beyond deserves it. I'm a singer, and have no fuc*i&g clue as to how she does this. She is a one of a kind, amazing. Rest in peace Queen.

Started as a kid that knew two tunes she learned and respected musicians especially drummers and the timing over 60 years you can know how to move the pocket.

Thrilled to have found this video. For years, this rendition of "On A Clear Day" has echoed in my mind, having had the LP in my college days. To actually SEE her do this performance, as well as listening to it again, is a rare treat. This video captures her at a peak in her career. I saw her in Boston in the early 80's, and she was still phenomenal. Truly a genius of a singer.

Georges Arvanitas was something else! If course Anita was always great but Arvanitas is seldom mentioned and without his backing her sets wouldn’t have risen to the heights they did. The Georges Arvanitas trio simply the best!!!!

@LudvigC 8 жыл бұрын

+Ricardo da Mata "a better singer" - you make it sound like an objective truth? There are many aspects of jazz vocals: voice, timing, melodic interpretations, swing, diction, attitude, etc, etc. Personally I just can't stand big-vibrato singers like Vaughan, even though they have "great voices" in the traditional sense. But that's me!

I was in Paris for the same concert some days before or after, and the public booed during all her set. I feel so sad of it though I was at the background trying to hear, and loving what she was singing. I still love it.

@waynej2608 3 жыл бұрын

Why/how in the name of all things sacred, would she be booed? I'm having real difficulty trying to wrap my mind around that one. Is it a 'French thing'? I thought the French, certainly Parisians, dug jazz. I think Anita is pure gold!

the stabilizing effect that was done to this video is doing some really odd things in certain shots. It looks weird.

@powenmoore 8 жыл бұрын

I agree. It's mainly a matter of the West German Radio logo wafting around in the upper left corner. The logo was stable in the version I uploaded; the stabilizing was KZfaq's doing. The upside is that camera wobble is reduced and better esp in closeups. The downside is that many frames are cropped a bit, plus the floating logo.

@mrlopez-pz7pu 8 жыл бұрын

powenmoore its doing strange things to Anita's face also - there are times when the stabilizing technique is so efficient that when she is still & her lips are moving, it actually stabilizes her face to such a degree that it looks as if her lips were superimposed over a still image of her. Its freaky! :)

Yes I was just thinking the same thing. I'm guessing that Amy Winehouse was influenced by many of the great jazz vocalists, but you can definitely hear it here with Anita.
