"...in the tradition of the best jazz autobiographies...a fascinating travelogue through the jazz world, filled with vivid images of Gene Krupa, Stan Kenton, Roy Eldridge and Billie Holiday.... Her prose is as hip as her music." (The New York Times Book Review)

This is a well told story of the jazz legend, read in a voice that could be her own. An unfiltered snapshot of moment in time. Fantastic

What a story!

I am an Ann Magnuson fan. I didn't know much about Anita O'Day. I knew she was a jazz singer (actually jazz stylist) but basically nothing else. Since Ms. Magnuson was reading the book, I thought I'd check it out. But, Ann Magnuson does so much more than read this fascinating memoir. It's more like an one woman show. Her performance brings so much energy, heart and emotion to the story. Her delivery makes the whole thing seem so modern and kind of edgy. Absolutely amazing! Super highly recommended. It's absolutely worth the time.

Ann Magnuson brings Anita O'Day back to life!

Anita O’Day’s music is truly remarkable. Her story is completely amazing . I couldn’t stop listening to this book. I love her music even more after hearing the stories. Great book. So happy to listen to it. I felt it was Anita herself narrating. A+

Fantastic Story by Great Artist.
