Anita O’Day had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. Now signed to Anita O’Day’s SixSteps records, the title track from second album “Verve Jazz Masters 49″ leads Anita O’Day’s back-to-school campaign. Verve Jazz Masters 49 isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Exciting stuff.
This track is just a stunning masterpiece. Angel Eyes is simply gorgeous. Fly Me To The Moon (A.K.A. In Other Words) - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. When listening to (Ah, The Apple Trees) When The World Was Young, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Simple and heartfelt closing track Ten Cents A Dance closes Verve Jazz Masters 49 on a high note. Music and lyrics of Easy Come, Easy Go creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. In No Soap, No Hope Blues it becomes nowhere more obvious that Anita O’Day has yet to define own style. Best song on the album, love it. Old Devil Moon has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. The sound of A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Them There Eyes is another strong production from Anita O’Day. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Johnny One Note defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. The first time I listened to Waiter, Make Mine Blues I was struck by its gorgeous sound. First time I heard What Is This Thing Called Love was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.
