Jazz singer Anita O’Day brims with personality on this 1962 album. Listen to the way she chews on the clever wordplay of “You Came A Long Way From St. Louis,” or how her faintly husky voice dovetails with delicately playful horns on the celebratory “I Want To Sing A Song.” Then compare her breathy finesse on the affecting “Night Bird” to her zinging scat on “Up State.” All The Sad Young Men warmly unites O’Day’s various strengths, all delivered with the lightest of touches.
