Sings for Oscar

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Anita Sings for Oscar (songs 1-11 of the current CD) was originally released under the title Anita Sings the Most. It contained eleven tracks that were recorded in a studio in Chicago on January 31, 1957, backed by the legendary pianist Oscar Peterson s trio featuring guitarist Herb Ellis and bass giant Ray Brown. Anita s most enduring collaborator, drummer John Poole was also on hand for the date. By the time of the Sings for Oscar session, Peterson had already become a star in his own right whose fame allowed him to pick and choose his few dates as a sideman. The Pick Yourself Up album (tracks 12-23 of the current CD) were recorded on three separate dates and in three separate formats. The first date was recorded on December 18 featuring Anita in a sextet setting, the second was recorded on December 19 in an 11-piece band composed mostly of strings, and the third on December 20, 1956, which also featured an 11-piece band with more typical jazz instrumentation. 2 LPs ON 1 CD!!
