Anita ODay had many fine groups to back her ever since she began lining out jazz, and this collection, recorded at the peak of her career, is a fine example of this statement, considering shes accompanied by orchestras arranged and conducted by such talented bandleaders as Bill Holman, and Russ Garcia.

In every setting, she sings with superb phrasing, and unique inflections. She exhibits her characteristic comprehension of the lyrics, as well as the melody, without becoming a slave to either. She has an uncanny ability to bend and mold a syllable or word into a meaningful musical experience, capriciously individualizing each tune by altering introduction, tempo, or mood.

The albums you are holding are, without a doubt, two of Anitas best.
