Anita O’Day/France 1966

In 1966, Anita O’Day, who is popular in Japan for her husky voice and unique singing style with a sharp swing feel, performed for two consecutive days at the Antibes Jazz Festival held in France. A live performance that will make fans drool has appeared, recording the footage in official quality sound quality. Anita’s sensational singing skills in Bert Stern’s documentary film “Jazz on a Midsummer Night”, which captured her performing at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, shocked the world. However, he later became addicted to drugs and retired from the front line. Meanwhile, he decided to cut ties with drugs and performed at the historic two-day Antibes Jazz Festival, which you can hear today. The trio includes Tete Montrieux, famous as a blind genius pianist, backing Anita, veteran bassist Jackie Samson, who also played on Rollins’ albums, on bass, and veteran John Poole on drums. Her reliable and stable performance goes perfectly with Anita’s husky voice. Furthermore, the live performance in Paris in 1970, which was completely revived as a bonus track, is recorded in the highest quality sound quality, which is of course suitable for Anita O’Day fans. This is a masterpiece that can be confidently recommended to all jazz fans.
