Inspiration: Anita O’Day

17 Jan

I’ve been singing a lot of Jazz, and listening to a lot too.

and I wanted to share with you one of my greatest Jazz inspirations- Anita O’Day. I feel she is an underrated icon!

O’Day is one of my favourites.. very playful, witty and creative in the way she interprets the standards- she gots incredible scat skill!! and rhythm.. she got that too!

Here is one of my favourite live performances of her performing, one of the greatest love songs ever written ‘Body and Soul’…
