perfection

I have never been able to decide still yet which i think is the better part of the song: is it Roy's trumpet, or Anita's singing?

John Agresti

still can't figure out how a phono needle sucks up the music off the vinyl...

I have to sing this song for an audition, so I'm listening to every version

i've now listened to every other version on youtube, and imho this is the definitive version. bette midler is interesting and aretha is spectacular, but anita seems to me 100% connected to this lyric and melody. it's her song. plus the arrangement with its descending bassline is my favorite -- breezy yet sad yet smart. plus roy's solo kicks ass. this record will have its day.

Michael Norton

Anita's one of my all-time favorites, and so is Skylark. What a match! But the best rendition of this song I've ever heard was by June Christy. Can't find it, though.

Helen Forrest is better at this song, more swing than jazz. But Anita is very good too.

David Govett

@elliotrainbow I don't know, Sarah Vaughan was up there, too.

BSempervirens

That's Roy Eldridge on the trumpet solo.

Ian Sutherland

this may be the perfect record.

Who was the trumpeter?

elliottrainbow

There will never be another singer exactly like Anita O'Day. She herself said that she was not a great singer. Boy, do I have to disagree....she was like Judy Garland, in that she took a song and made it her own. She is great, probably the best jazz singer of all time.
