Anita Sings the Most is a 1957 album by Anita O'Day.
The album was recorded in Los Angeles on January 31, 1957. [2] In addition to vocalist O'Day, the musicians were pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown, and Milt Holland or John Poole on drums. [2]
Anita Sings the Most was released by Verve Records. [2] Jazz: The Rough Guide identified the album as one that shows O'Day's "rhythmic invention and accuracy". [3] The AllMusic reviewer wrote: "The very brief playing time (just 33 minutes) is unfortunate on this set, but the high quality definitely makes up for the lack of quantity. A gem." [1]
