Music reviews of All the Sad Young Men
Music Review: Another splendid O'Day verve re-issue...
Rating: 5 Stars
All of Anita O'Day's Verves are marvelous, she is one of the greatest bebop vocal improvisers of all time, and she is the last of the living lengendary jazz singers still performing today. This reissue of the original lp includes fine remastering as well as original cover art and comprehensive liner notes. O'Day's voice sounds "cooler" then usual, singing softly and sensually with a somewhat cooled down husky voice. The arrangements are equally cool by Gary McFarland. Overall an enjoyable set with spectacular versions of DO NOTHIN TILL YOU HEAR FROM ME, YOU CAME A LONG WAY FROM ST LOUIS and BOOGIE BLUES. Plenty of scatting and scat phrasing as usual and lot's of wonderful improvising. Highly Recommended as are all of her Verves are. Also see Anita O'Day live next time your in LA she sings every mondaay at the ATLAS.

Description of All the Sad Young Men
Japanese limited edition issue of the album classic in a deluxe, miniaturized LP sleeve replica of the original vinyl album artwork.From her days with Gene Krupa and Stan Kenton in the '40s, Anita O'Day was a genuine jazz singer who could make the most of a big-band date. This 1961 recording pairs her with arranger Gary McFarland, who was just beginning to demonstrate his talent for creating constantly shifting backdrops filled with unexpected rhythmic figures and voicings. The title song and Willard Robson's "A Woman Alone with the Blues" gain orchestral dimension from McFarland's writing, while he's able to put his own stamp on Ellington's "Do Nothin' Till You Hear from Me." The songs are well-chosen vehicles for O'Day, a singer capable of both bemused irony and emotional directness, with the diction for Broadway lyrics and a facility for inventive scat singing. "Boogie Blues" updates an early O'Day hit with Gene Krupa's band, while Al Cohn's "Night Bird" and Horace Silver's "Senor Blues" are unusual in being big-band vocal treatments of bop tunes. The band is terrific, and altoist Phil Woods and guitarist Barry Galbraith make particularly good solo contributions. O'Day's vocals were overdubbed at separate sessions. It may add to the vocal presence, and given her scat exchange with Willie Dennis's trombone on "Up State," it seems to take nothing away from her involvement in the band. --Stuart Broomer
