ABOUT ANITA O’DAY
Anita O’Day was a pioneering jazz vocalist whose career spanned the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s. Refusing to be stereotyped as a “girl singer,” her swing, phrasing, and improvisational skills put her firmly in the company of the great musicians of the bebop era. Nashville favorite, jazz vocalist Annie Sellick, cites O’Day as one of her major influences and will present this lecture and performance on the life and music of this jazz great.

Those attending Jazz on the Move will be able to visit the Frist's exhibits free of charge, and will also receive discounted parking.
