In this television broadcast there is no audience cheering her on, as at Newport, but O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Day shows that she needs no crowd to generate energy and enthusiasm. She has the backing of her pianist and musical director Bob Corwin and a superb big band of Japanese musicians led by Takao Ishizuka playing Buddy Bregman arrangments. Among the 15 songs, she reprises two of her Newport hits, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sweet Georgia Brown\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tea for Two.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d On the latter she jams with three horn players in a riotous exchange of high-speed phrases. This remarkable DVD preserves O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Day\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s musicianship, impeccable timing, stage presence and charisma.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anita O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Day Live In Tokyo \u00e2\u20ac\u212263 (Kayo Stereophonic) The singer equals the heights she reached in her 1958 triumph at the Newport Jazz Festival.
