Mike, why did they boo her?  I don't recall that on the LP.

BTW: I'm another fan of that recording!  :tup 

 

The Berlin audience had a reputation of being rather unpredictably picky - the boos are not on the record but were heard on the TV broadcast I saw. She was on the same bill as several more modern to avant garde acts, and the jazz fans who had come for those didn't appreciate her, although critics acknowledged O'Day was at the top of her art that evening. The festival directors wanted to present her as a classic vocal jazz artist but didn't their idea across, it seemed.

Fabian Almazan & Rhizome: Alcanza: I bought this after an Almazan show last year and the CD-sized download card ended up on a shelf.  I finally downloaded the FLAC of it and am enjoying it.  He had Linda May Han Oh and Henry Cole with him that day.
