Anita O’Day to Mark Comeback at Atlas

Jazz legend Anita O’Day will begin a weekly series of performances at Atlas supper club, adjacent to the Wiltern Theatre, 3760 Wilshire Blvd., beginning tonight.

O’Day, sidelined by illness two years ago, has now resumed her career. O’Day will perform sets intermittently beginning at 8 p.m. each Tuesday at Atlas as she prepares for a headline concert at the JVC Jazz Festival at New York’s Avery Fisher Hall on June 2.

O’Day, who will celebrate her 80th birthday Oct. 18, recently returned to the recording studio for a new version of the Billie Holiday classic “God Bless the Child,” accompanied by Sade’s band Sweetback. It will have a spring release from Sony/Epic, which will simultaneously release a CD of her 1941 recordings with Gene Krupa. Also in the works are CD collections spanning her entire discography.
