Anita O'Day Artist Snapshot:

A charismatic jazz singer who balanced soul, invention, and excellent technique, Anita O'Day got her first big break in 1941 as the vocalist in Gene Krupa's band (which also featured Roy Eldridge). She recorded several hits with both his ensemble and Stan Kenton's before going solo in '46. Throughout the next six decades she would record great albums with the likes of Cal Tjader and Barney Kessel, but it was during her live performances that her brilliant timing and charming rapport with audiences and fellow musicians really came through. O'Day passed away in November 2006.
