Anita O’Day was one of the most original and unique voices of 20th century jazz. Since Anita never sang a song the same way twice, I hope you enjoy this rendition of Honeysuckle Rose, because you aren’t likely to hear it again!.
Frequently, Anita liked to combine a bit of vocalese with bebop, as she did here with Tea For Two. It’s a surprising arrangement, featuring both her trio and the usual self-confidence that was her hallmark.
