Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Anita O’Day on ‘That Old Feeling’. Anita O’Day’s debut, ‘Jazz Masters 49′, does not fit easily into one genre. Anita O’Day was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Anita O’Day and Jazz Masters 49 together. Unappreciated gift to Jazz
It took me a little time but I ended up loving Boogie Blues. Angel Eyes is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Anita O’Day released so far. Music in Fly Me To The Moon (Aka “In Other Words”) is gorgeous as in all tracks of Jazz Masters 49. (Ah, The Apple Trees) When The World Was Young - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Jazz Masters 49. Easy Come, Easy Go is astounding. No Soap, No Hope Blues is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. I loved Just In Time the first time I heard it. Old Devil Moon is a bit different from Anita O’Day stereotypical stuff. Listening to A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square you can hear that Anita O’Day has still amazing chemistry with band members. Awesome song is really all that you can say about it. If The Moon Turns Green is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Johnny One Note is nothing but pure genius. I can’t stop humming along Waiter, Make Mine Blues. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy.
