Anita O'Day shattered the archetype of the glamorous, demure girl singer and established herself as one of the most distinctive and charismatic stylists to emerge from the swing era. Following stints with some of the best big bands of the 1940s, O'Day reinvented herself as an inventive and uncompromising solo artist, scatting and improvising with unequalled speed and dexterity.
