LAL Posted June 22, 2004 Report Posted June 22, 2004 Discs 1 to 3 of Anita O'Day set. Anita's singing has a unique style and she improvises a lot. There is never a dull moment when she's in the spotlight. IMO, she even outshines herself compared to the Krupa days. Some of the best vocal jazz I've ever heard - LOVE IT. Quote

I haven't picked up the Mosaic as I have quite a bit of it already, much on vinyl, some on CD. Anita is terrific and, odd to say maybe, but still underrated in many quarters. Quote

Let me third those thoughts! I recently went through the whole set and found it wonderful on all levels. Certainly a must buy if you're a fan of jazz vocals. This and the Capitol Jazz Sessions are the two most overlooked Mosaics to my mind. Both are treasure troves of great music. Quote

brownie Posted July 5, 2004 Report Posted July 5, 2004 Had a hard time enjoying the first 2 discs of the Four Freshmen box which I bought during a sales last week. Fortunately things got better with disc 3. I'll play the following discs in a few days. Quote
