The record
Backed by a swinging big-band arrangement, this session finds O'Day working her signature dry, behind-the-beat phrasing against horn charts built for a singer who thinks like a horn player herself. Verve pairing her with top-flight arrangers of the era, capturing the cool, unhurried authority that defined her late-'50s run for the label.
