This is the first, definitive documentary on the life of the legendary Jazz vocalist Anita O' Day. In Anita's own words, we hear the tale of a musical genius who broke race barriers and lived her life boldly, unconventionally, without looking back. In candid interviews with the Filmmakers, Anita gives a poignant and often funny account of her jazz odyssey, that is now well into its seventh decade. With her classic wry wit, Anita speaks with television icons such as Dick Cavett, Bryant Gumble, David Frost and Harry Reasoner to reveal why at 87 she is the last living singer from the Golden Age.

  • I'm not from her era, but my mom played the old jazz, big band hits for me as a child.

    Anita is unique, and the male musicians really respected her.

  • Simply one of the very best documentaries ever made about any artist, anytime, anywhere.

    Rented it, watched it, loved it, bought it.

  • Just finished watching it and am loking froward to seeing again! She's an amazing singer...even in her 80's!!

  • @daisyroots It re-airs on the Doc Channel on July 27 at 7pm central time. I saw it the other day, and it is something you don't want to miss! I have the dvr set so I can see it again.

  • Seeing her this week in her new documentary "The life of a Jazz Singer" brought back 40 year old memories of my parents listening to her great music. A really great singer a really great documentary.
