Sad news . . . Anita was second only to Ella in my book. Her scat version of "Four Brothers" is one of my all-time faves. And her performance in the movie "Jazz On a Summer's Day" is a classic.
Rest easy Anita, and thank you for all of the great music. You will be missed.

I fully agree with your overview of Miss O'Day,
"Anita was second only to Ella in my book.."
'Let me off uptown!'
Performances by
Gene Krupa and his Orchestra
Roy Eldridge - trumpet & vocals
Anita O'Day - vocals
Now she's as far uptown as one can be. Rest in peace.
