Anita O'Day/Anita Sings The Most(Verve, 1957)
Anita sings on Oscar Peterson's swingy piano.
You can feel the comfort among the technicians.
It sounds like Anita sings with ease, but this is not a skill that can be developed overnight.
Anita is able to do this because she is steeped in jazz, and she has charm that other vocalists don't have.
When I listen to her singing voice I end up drinking alcohol without realizing it.
