From “Jazz on a Summer’s Day,” filmed at Newport Jazz Festival, 1958. Lovely clip. It’s the hat and the crowd that make it special. Here’s her version of “My Funny Valentine” from around the same time.
According to John Siscoe, “Ah, the forever lovely Anita O’Day. The hat, the dress, the heels, and holy mackerel, the teeth! And yes, that wonderfully all-too-human audience. Thank you, East Portland Blog.”
