Anita O'Day at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival

Here's an amazing performance by Anita O'Day from the documentary Jazz on a Summer's Day by Bert Stern. This is a great performance of Sweet Georgia Brown and Tea for Two by Anita O'Day and the shots of the stylish jazz fans in the audience (check out those fabulous duds!) are incredible! Could the 50s have been any cooler? I don't think so.

More clips from Jazz on a Summer's Day can be found at Youtube. The DVD can also be rented from Netflix or bought "wherever DVDs are sold."
