@KimboDiddy Glad you enjoyed it - Anita was (and is) under appreciated - a gifted and tragic figure - and what style, a great example of a bygone era
Together with "You Took Advantage of Me" "Taking a Chance" is one of the most lyrical and compelling songs of this genre - I would love to hear/see Anita doing either. Isn't It poignant to get this glimpse of her at her best and before the decline... I do have the "Tea for Two" from this festival as a clip...
There's plenty of jazz singers but there's only one Anita O"Day.

At 5:35, the gentleman in shades wearing the dark blue shirt and grey flannel coat, looks very familiar. I'm sure he's was an actor of some note.

O'Day being pig-Latin for dough--and man is she on the money. The ultimate Bop vocalist!

There used to be a video of Miss O'Day singing "Taking A Chance On Love". It was FABULOUS.
I do wish her organization would release the entire video tribute from this particular jazz festival. It is oh so classic of her.
