1	Pick Yourself Up with Anita O'Day (1956) more music like this by Anita O'Day For this well-rounded CD reissue that adds nine cuts to the original program, Anita O'Day, in her prime period, is mostly heard accompanied by Buddy Bregman & His Orchestra, but there are also a few tracks on which she is joined by a jazz combo featuring trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison. Highlights include "Don't Be That Way," "Stompin' at the ... see all copies from $7.20! new only from $13.78!
2	Night and Day, Vol. 2: Songbook (1991) more music like this by Cole Porter see all copies from $4.61! new only from $5.99!
3	The Diva Series (2003) more music like this by Anita O'Day One of the best pairings of an artist with a label since Frank Sinatra swung into the Capitol offices, Anita O'Day's time under the Verve umbrella (also including Clef and Norgran) resulted in some of the best pop music of her era. O'Day's entry in 2003's The Diva Series is one of the better single-disc wrap-ups of her time on Verve, though the ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
4	Anita Sings the Most (1957) more music like this by Anita O'Day Anita O'Day recorded many rewarding albums in the 1950s when her voice was at its strongest, and this collaboration with the Oscar Peterson Quartet (comprised of pianist Peterson, guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer John Poole) may very well be her best. Not only is the backup swinging, giving a Jazz at the Philharmonic feel to ... see all copies from $7.11! new only from $7.11!
5	Anita O'Day Sings the Winners (1958) more music like this by Anita O'Day For this CD, which is greatly expanded from the original LP, Anita O'Day sings standards associated with other musicians, including "Four" (Miles Davis), "Early Autumn" (Stan Getz), "Four Brothers" (Woody Herman), "Sing, Sing, Sing" (Benny Goodman and Gene Krupa) and "Peanut Vendor" (Stan Kenton). Some of the material is unusual for a singer to ... see all copies from $8.29! new only from $13.71!
6	Night and Day: The Cole Porter Songbook (1952) more music like this by Various Artists With their vast back catalog of classic vocal sides, the Verve label has been releasing a seemingly endless line of songbook collections featuring a who's who of jazz greats. Irving Berlin, Gershwin, Ellington, and Rodgers & Hart have all been feted. Now it's Cole Porter's turn. Over the course of the 17 chestnuts heard here, the likes of Fred ... see all copies from $8.90! new only from $10.29!
7	Sentimental Journey: Capitol's Great Ladies of Song, Vol. 2 (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Lush orchestrations and dynamic vocal performances characterize the 26 songs on this compilation. Highlights include Billie Holiday's "Trav'lin Light," and The Andrews Sisters' "Shoo-Shoo Baby," Dinah Shore's "Sentimental Journey," Peggy Lee's "I Don't Know Enough About You," and June Christy's "It's Been a Long, Long Time." Mood music from the ... see all copies from $5.92! new only from $10.79!

9	Drummer Man (1956) more music like this by Gene Krupa with Anita O'Day and Roy Eldridge Roy Eldridge (trumpet) got the featured billing (along with vocalist Anita O'Day) he deserved on Drummer Man, a date featuring Gene Krupa fronting a big band. This was a reunion of sorts, but one that worked well, better in some cases than the original. The title's a bit misleading, for although Krupa's propulsions were clearly heard, his soloing ... see all copies from $8.98! new only from $8.98!
10	Time for Two (1962) more music like this by Anita O'Day In another experiment, producer Creed Taylor teams O'Day with the alternately Latin and bop-grounded quartet of vibraphonist Cal Tjader -- and he gets some amazing performances from this team. O'Day sounds as if she is delighted with Tjader's polished Afro-Cuban grooves, gliding easily over the rhythms, toying with the tunes, transforming even a ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
11 view cover	All the Sad Young Men (1961) more music like this by Anita O'Day When Creed Taylor took over the production reins from Norman Granz when the latter sold Verve to MGM, he continued to place Anita O'Day in imaginative settings that challenged her creativity. On this LP, she was served with a collection of brilliant, difficult big-band charts, courtesy of a 27-year-old emerging master named Gary McFarland who ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
12 view cover	The Complete Gershwin Songbooks (1995) more music like this by Various Artists The Complete Gershwin Songbooks collects three discs also released separately: 'S Wonderful, 'S Marvelous and 'S Paradise. The first two discs include the greatest vocalists Verve had to offer, including Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Anita O'Day, Shirley Horn, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Bing Crosby, Joe Williams, Fred ... see all copies from $31.88! new only from $31.88!
13 view cover	Anita O'Day Swings Cole Porter with Billy May (1959) more music like this by Anita O'Day Most of this CD reissue is taken from sessions in April 1959 on which Anita O'Day interprets Cole Porter songs while accompanied by some rather rambunctious big-band arrangements from Billy May. While her emotional range is wider than Ella Fitzgerald's (who had previously recorded her much better-known Cole Porter Songbook), O'Day's voice ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
14 view cover	Live in Tokyo '63 (2007) more music like this by Anita O'Day In 1963, Anita O'Day was still under contract to Verve when she recorded this album for a Japanese television special. Rare in O'Day's catalog (she has very few live records between the '40s and '70s), it's an excellent chance to hear one of the most breath-taking, free-swinging jazz vocalists appearing in a setting even more loose than her great ... see all copies from $14.00! new only from $14.00!

Not only was O'Day a dynamic presence in her own right, but she was surrounded by some of the top names in jazz. Her memorable association with trumpeter Roy Eldridge is represented on "Let Me Off Uptown" along with versions of ... see all copies from $12.20! new only from $12.20!
17 view cover	This Is Anita (1955) more music like this by Anita O'Day This CD is a straight reissue of the original LP with singer Anita O'Day heard in prime form. Accompanied by an orchestra conducted and arranged by Buddy Bregman, O'Day is heard near the peak of her powers on such songs as "You're the Top," "Honeysuckle Rose," an emotional rendition of "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square," and "As Long As I ... see all copies from $65.00! new only from $65.00!
18 view cover	My Funny Valentine: The Rodgers & Hart Songbook (1993) more music like this by Various Artists One of the choicest of Verve's many venerable songbook releases, My Funny Valentine spotlights some of the jazz canon's best moments in song; and how could it be otherwise, considering the program features the core of Rodgers & Hart's monumental song canon? That's why it's an all-star affair, with such singing royalty as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah ... see all copies from $2.97! new only from $13.78!
19 view cover	My Ship (1975) more music like this by Anita O'Day One in a string of six albums that jazz vocalist Anita O'Day made while performing in Japan during the mid-'70s. These were done as she was returning to the stage after a bout with drugs and alcohol. This was also issued on her own label.

Some of these ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $11.13!
21 view cover	Complete Rodgers & Hart Songbook (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The classic songs of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart are rendered on this outstanding three-disc set, which features vocalists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Shirley Horn, Tony Bennett and Cassandra Wilson. Among the spotlighted instrumentalists are Charlie Parker, Coleman Hawkins, Art Tatum, Stan Getz, Bill ... see all copies from $25.05! new only from $25.05!
22 view cover	The Complete Cole Porter Songbooks (1993) more music like this by Various Artists This is not and cannot be the Complete Cole Porter Songbooks, but it's a marvelous collection of 48 timeless jazz interpretations drawn from the Verve catalog. Recorded between 1951 and 1988, these standards, ballads and show tunes are rendered by some 15 vocalists, many of whom appear twice, and about 13 instrumental groups. In addition to the ... see all copies from $31.99! new only from $31.99!

24 view cover	Let Me Off Uptown (1996) more music like this by Anita O'Day The 1999 reissue of this title (CK 65625) is a major addition to Anita O'Day's catalog and, secondarily, to Roy Eldridge's and Gene Krupa's CD profile. Anyone who has heard the previous releases of Krupa's music from the early '40s on Columbia and OKeh knows how problematic they are -- the masters sound rough, and the band wasn't half as good as O ... see all copies from $17.06! new only from $17.06!
