Album Notes & Community Reviews

Organized as a heartfelt tribute to Billie Holiday, 'Trav'lin' Light' finds Anita O'Day tackling material intimately associated with the late legend. Arranged by Johnny Mandel, O'Day avoids mimicry, utilizing her own highly rhythmic, slightly husky approach to inject a profoundly personal, swinging melancholy into the repertoire.
