Johnny Mandel nailed it: Aniita was a "free soul"
Or, as another described her style in this clip: "rhythmic exhibitionism" Spot-on
As a relative newcomer to her group of ardent fans, I'm definitely looking forward to this documentary
But: don't watch this if you'd like to think that her performance at Newport in 58 was all-natural

Anita WAS what jazz is all about...she the very best !

She was the ... ( 1 year ago by johnnykluv)

She was the greatest ever. She went through many phases of vocal stylings and was incredibly versatile. The scenes from Jazz on A Summer's Day are incredible. I had the fortune to meet her at a performance when she was older. She was the only person ever whom I asked for an autograph.

I met her three ... ( 1 year ago by chapeauetbarbe)

I met her three times. The first time i just saw the back of this big behive hair and the fowlest mouth ever, then she turned to the side and it was Anita, little firecracker.On Jazz on a summers day she makes you cry man, she was tops.

I saw this! Check it out if you can. Some amazing performances, and Anita herself is hilarious. Watch for the part where she shuts that annoying Bryant Gumbel right the hell up when he's basically trying to get her to admit some moral failing because of her heroin years.

Billie is by no ... ( 3 months ago by Gman3thousand)

Billie is by no means overrated. Why does it have to be either or? They had completely different styles. Besides, Billie died too young for there to be any progression in her style.

Me too. ( 1 month ago by mjmurdock)

Me too.

Billie was a great ... ( 1 month ago by jburidan)

Billie was a great great singer indeed but by the time she died she had any voice at all. I doubt that any progression in style could happen later, If she had been alive.
There can't be a comparition in both singers they are different and they are great.
I personally think that Anita was the Jazz singer with the most innate talent and musicianship, others have beautifull full range voices, but no that musicianship and phrasing
forget my english is not my native language.

Anyone that says ... ( 2 weeks ago by jalex11)

Anyone that says Billie Holiday had no voice by the end is missing the point. Billie never had a technically remarkable voice, what she had to offer was a completely innovative style and timbre, phenomenal musicianship and an ability to add emotional intensity to her selections.I am not taking anything away from Anita, but Billie came FIRST and pioneered the style that indirectly and directly inspired Anita's own personal style.

Don't forget ... ( 2 weeks ago by LizzyDouglas)

Don't forget Billie's phrasing and timing, she was unique in that. Billie IS the BLUES (NÓT Jazz!!). Though many pigeon-hole her as a Jazz-singer! Billie is incomparable.
Anita, whom I also love very very much, can't be compared with Billie and the other way around. They both are unique in their own fields, discussion is useless.

Billie is a jazz ... ( 2 weeks ago by jalex11)

Billie is a jazz singer who sang some blues and infused her selections with the feeling of the blues, but she was definitely, for the most part a Jazz singer. Billie phrased like a horn, swung, and improvised on the melody of songs, these are all traits of a jazz vocalist not a blues singer.

it's I realize Jazz ... ( 2 weeks ago by jalex11)

it's I realize Jazz was born out of blues but it alson had many other influences including african music, carribean music, classical music, marching band music etc. Saying Billie Holiday is blues because jazz was influenced by blues is like saying that the Beatles were an R&B group because Rock and Roll was born out of R&B. In any case the important thing is that we both agree that Billie and Anita were great artists!
