Anita O'Day

Decades later, she said that she can remember very little of this performance, as she was high at the time.



Thanks for posting -- it's as interesting as the music to watch the crowd for a glimpse of the music scene in 1958. Pretty good video and audio quality for 1958.

Yes, at a time when jazz was still popular, before the days of rock concerts.

I can quite believe her when she said she was high, you just have to look at her face when she's not actually singing. In other videos you see her climbing the stairs to the stage, she didn't look too steady on her feet.

The time of her appearance I believe was on a Sunday morning.
I've always admired her, she was very well respected amongst jazz musicians.
