This wonderful performance is a precious treasure in US entertainment history. Very rare glimpse of Anita O'Day just out of her teens & in the big time with Gene Krupa & Roy Eldridge. In her 1982 autobio Anita said the band members taught her poker and once she grasped the game she was taking all their money on the tour bus. Anita loved Gene, she returned to his band after his prison bust problems. I miss all 3 of these legends, especially Anita. Thanks for sharing, friend. :)

Love how Krupa (placed of course in the center) is the only sole dressed in black and everyone else in white, so he sticks out!

Fantastic video!!! I love Krupa's music, and will be posting some more of his 78's next week. Thanks for sharing this AWESOME clip!

Great vid, thanks for sharing

...you should put Eldrige's name somewhere, I think it's pretty interesting how him and O'day were playing as a duo back then
