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!! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e REVIEW \u003cbr\u003e ***** DOWN BEAT original review: Anita Sings for Oscar No this isn t the old automatic five stars that pops up whenever certain favorites of a reviewer come along.
