Sounds like someone combined Eartha Kitt and Billie Holiday…
Anita O’Day, like the two women you mentioned, was a real original. She had an amazing sense of rhythm and time and exuded an aura of 1950s hep sensibility. In my opinion she usually illuminated the melody more than the lyric, but in this case I think she nails both.
What a great band! Thx for posting… 🙂
Some great solos in there…
