For this 1958 LP, Anita O'Day sings standards associated with other
musicians, including "Four" (Miles Davis), "Early Autumn" (Stan Getz),
"Four Brothers" (Woody Herman), "Sing, Sing, Sing" (Benny Goodman and
Gene Krupa) and "Peanut Vendor" (Stan Kenton). Some of the material is
unusual for a singer to interpret, but O'Day, one of the top jazz
vocalists of the decade, improvises when the lyrics are not that strong
(or barely exist). The backup by the Russ Garcia Orchestra is not all
that memorable, but the focus is entirely on the vocalist, and O'Day
really comes through. [An expanded reissue nearly doubled the original
running time with the addition of similar material from the late '50s
and early '60s.] Scott Yanow
