• Here is Anita O’Day in excellent vocal form joining forces with Billy May, one of the most prolific arrangers of the Hollywood recording studios in the 50s and 60s.

• To back her, May led three big-sized groups staffed by top musicians, and provided the swinging, tasteful charts in these two excellent albums : "Anita O'Day Swings Cole Porter with Billy May" (1959) and "Anita O'Day and Billy May Swings Rodgers & Hart" (1960).

• Miss O’Day treats this handful of great evergreen songs in her usual compelling manner and with innate musicianship. She was gifted with a wide vocal range. She sang smoothly without strain, and remained consistently impressive in projection, phrasing, and flexibility.

• Featuring: Anita O'Day (vcl), with Billy May & His Orchestra, feat. Conrad Gozzo, Pete Candoli (tp), Si Zentner, Lloyd Ulyate (tb), Ronnie Lang, Ted Nash (as), Gene Cipriano (ts), Chuck Gentry (bs), Joe Castro (p), Al Hendrickson (g), Ralph Peña (b), Irv Cottler (d).

• Total time: 55:00 min. - 24 tracks - 24-Bit Digitally Remastered - originally released on Verve.
