- Exclusive live performance of this elusive American jazzsinger Anita O'Day and her trio at the North Sea Jazz Festival, The Hague, The Netherlands, 18 July 1982.
Anita O'Day (born Anita Belle Colton; October 18, 1919 - November 23, 2006) was an American jazz singer widely admired for her sense of rhythm and dynamics, and her early big band appearances that shattered the traditional image of the "girl singer".
Refusing to pander to any female stereotype, O'Day presented herself as a "hip" jazz musician, wearing a band jacket and skirt as opposed to an evening gown. She changed her surname from Colton to O'Day, pig Latin for "dough", slang for money
Along with Mel Tormé Anita O'Day is often grouped with the West Coast school of jazz.
See also Mel Tormé's performance elsewhere on World of Jazz.
Anita O'Day sings:
Wave (Antonio Carlos Jobim)
You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To (Cole Porter)
In A Mellow Tone (Duke Ellington)
A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square (Eric Maschwitz, Manning Sherwin)
They Can't Take That Away From Me ((Ira & George Gershwin)
Honeysuckle Rose (Fats Waller, Andy Razaf)
Wave (Reprise) (Antonio Carlos Jobim)

She is /was BRILLIANT. What a phenomenal talent. Incredible musicianship... She was so inventive and in TOTAL control of her instrument and her combo. One of the GREATEST ever.
She communicates so efficiently with the band. She wasn't a singer, she was a musician.
YUP
The 1st Lady of Jazz! In our opinion, there's been non better!
❤💯❤💯❤💯❤💯
She was my neighbor in the 70's in Los Angeles in an average apartment complex off Moorpark Avenue in the San Fernando Valley.
My uncle live at 11762 Moorpark in Studio City. She must have lived close by.
She is the greatest. Her voice is her improvisational instrument!
The GREAT Anita!!
Birlliant such an underated talent A VOICE AND STYLE ALL HER OWN RIP
Wow!
Anita O Day reached another level of comfort, Can you imagine? How many times she has sang "You'd Be So Nice To Come To" perfectly as written? On this performance she took some very bold rhythmic and melodic freedoms! I like how she says at the end "YOU'LL NEVER HEAR THAT VERSION AGAIN! RIGHT?" She knows it! Jazz is the Art of Improvisation! "Never the same way twice" is what they would say about Louis Armstrong's Music. This here is the true spirit of Jazz.
I've seen a bunch of Anita o' Day's live performances, especially the black and white ones, and I had never seen her this facially expressive. Maybe she WAS extra inspired. But wow. It takes another level of comfort and melodic control, plus understanding of the music to do something like that. Very entertaining. She is one of the best
This is also later, once she was off the 'horse.'
You nailed it! She was just an incredibly confident and inventive musician.
@@brandonsaloy5635 That’s absolutely right. Most of her performances were great but she wasn’t really interacting with the audience. She is not just a brilliant jazz singer but when “clean” she was also a real performer too!
She's one of my favourite Jazz artists. RIP Anita 'O Day. ❤
Jazz in it,s finest and purist form. She was a musical heavyweight.
❤
Never seen her smiling so much! Sobriety made her even greater!
Thanks so much "World of Jazz" for this great moment with Anita O'Day and her Trio 💖♪ ♫ 🎸🎷 🎻🎹🎺🌺🎧🎼🎩🎩🎩
I will never stop enjoying Anita O'Day 😊❤
Love Anita.
My fave.
Fantastic ! Anita O'Day and the trio 💫
You got to love her !!!! She is not about getting on the train and pay your ticket she makes demands on the tunes and makes it interesting for the audience and making the trio listen. She reminds me of a trip I took from LA to Seattle on the starlight express and I was playing for the trains workers in the dinning car coming into the last station. An elderly lady came walking in hand and hand with a small boy. She looked at me and said; "I never did this for my grandson before." And she sang; "There was a Boy!!!" I knew it was in Eminor but it is a strange song and I played every chord I could imagine and she followed me perfectly. She had an amazing voice and I said; "You are a pro!" She answers yes but retired.
terrific!brilliant!a hollywood movie should be made about anita for she indeed was one of the greatest jazz singers of all time.she truly had a style all her own and her legend will live on.
There was a DVD of her lifa titled, Anita O'Day: Life Of A Jazz Singer. It is fantastic.
great fantastic thank you
Amazing! Love her singing, it make my brain works)
Thanks for uploading this. I am so glad I found it!
Thank you so much for posting this!
What a great singer, so missed, rip.
Wonderful!
Superbe, merci de partager ces documents uniques ! ANITA for EVER !!! 🎵🎵🎵🔵⚪🔴
Looking for a true great jazz singer you’ve found her - Ms. O’Day was up there with the best. Unafraid to innovate.
Especial, inspiradora
She sang very well in 1982, in her last years she lost her voice. Great video.
I heard Anita & her trio in 1989 and we shared a few drinks together. She was fabulous and so was her voice.
Anita O'Day 18.10.1919/23.11.2006! she was already 63 at that time!!
Bass player at 2:18, "Is she going to sing this song or what?" LOL! I've been there, buddy.
Yeah... but she is in total control. Such an incredibly fine singer/musician.
Che meraviglia. Pazzesca.
thanks
What a gorgeous and classy woman!
O público tem preguiça de aplaudir? Mesmo com alta qualidade de todos músicos e uma respeitada dama do jazz. Não sei se conhece bem Anita O'Day.
Hahahahha diminished 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Unica memo de mexico.
Who is her bass player ?
Swinging ist einfach unsterblich!
Nga'..nga'...nga'..ngaaa'
Yeah, I can see where she’d be tough to work with. Staying with her patterns woud be hung with your fingernails! What wonderful musicians!!!’
You have to know your part and play it, follow the chart so she has that structure to work around freely. If you try to follow her phrasing she gets so far out there that you'll get lost for sure.
@@poindexterregan5603 Agreed! And you have to TRUST her... and you would be a fool not to. She is at the TOP of her game here.
ANITA COULD HAVE WON MISS AMERICA ! WHY DIDN T SHE PARTICIPATE ???
She had a lot more to offer...
Estou procurando That's what you think e After you've gone
do disco The Big Band Sessions com Anita O' Day e Gene Krupa Big Band. Pode ser
mesmo pelo UA-cam. Agradeço muito quem me arrumar.

A bit of a strange recording. I reckon her voice was starting to go, but she still knows how to sing and put a song over. Who on earth di her make-up.
Perhaps the ONLY real white female jazz singer!?
SHEILA JORDAN not white ? Julie London ...smokey ballads only,,no improvisations, depth - yes, voice yes, other aspects ...? Rosie Clooney on Conc , 9 lps 70-80s, Irene Kral , C.Sloan .. Cheryl Bentyne... think yr thesis runs on thinning ice ...others can be found. Anita is the tip of the top - racialize it or not !!!
@@sulevisydanmaa9981 Let's be honest Julie London is a studio singer, I love her so much, but her lives are just ok
Undoubtedly the best! Give some credit to Cris Conner thiugh.
She sound drunk
Hardly....
You must be drunk !?!
I love Anita but this is just a mess.
Red Flame Agreed. A hot mess!!!
It was obviously a pickup band that she didn't bother to rehearse with.
They fought the good fight and did the best they could.
Completely disagree.... She is masterful, working with those established in her combo and guests. Her incredible musicianship shines through. She is BOLD and masterful. Fearless. A true and pure interpreter.
@@paulwickline7434 I have to respectfully disagree. Her clever and artful note choices required confidence and trust she had not built or earned with the trio. Ending tunes on other than a diatonic note only works when the trio has the ears to adjust - ending Wave and You’d be So Nice in this way resulted in “train wrecks” because the pianist and bassist either didn’t know what she was doing or they decided to hang her out to dry.
The tension on stage is clear. These folks were not getting along.
I’ll almost bet she didn’t make rehearsal, or if she did, she didn’t take it seriously. She may or may not have been under influence of one or more substances that day.
@@michaelfoxbrass I do not speak English. I am not a musician. Thanks for the sincere opinion. Between blind adoración of things, and criticism due to experience, we can perceive facts more clearly. Life is inmense, and beyond our considerations....true or false.
oh my god, no even in the right key , timing off, ga ga ga and does not communicate with the band are wondering what an earth is going on. She seems stoned. I liked her singing but this is just very sad when people think they are SO good they dont need to give a quality performance anymore. Very sad.
Respectfully disagree. She was in top form. And the band was right with her. She paid the bass player a huge compliment comparing him to Red Norvo. It was cool when she said “diminished”!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! It was HORRIBLE
sad to see a brilliant singer ,who stuck on drugs and nearly died of overdose, then she straighten up, i became a show lady like Judy Garland and her shows were worth every penny, people went to see her and listen ,how she improvized andshe never sang a wrong note, i'am not surprise if she is in cocaine in this concert
Are you serious??? Judy died of an overdose & was a very heavy user. She couldn't hold Anita's shoes! our opinion.
@@kmack128 Judy was in other style of music like Bing Crosby, Anita'O Day was a jazz singer, i didnt meant that both were in the same style
