I saw the late Anita O' Day in the mid-80's in San Francisco at a club, when she was well past her prime, and probably well into her 60's; she did a great show, and used her vocal skills to overcome any shortcomings in her voice from age. Years onward, and I'm looking forward to seeing another talent of her class, Rickie Lee Jones. Not quite the same style, but RLJ can do jazz and blues and vocalese too! Heroin is something both singers got into during their careers, and overcame for comebacks.

"Drum Boogie" is a similar, but different song. It was mostly an blues instrumental, with Anita shouting "Do ya hear the drummer boogie"...which she borrows again for "Boogie Blues"

jazzpaul1973 (February 26th, 2008 @ 8:23 pm)

No..."Boogie Blues", "Drum Boogie", and "Anita's Blues" are all different songs. This is "Boogie Blues".

There seems to be some confusion regarding the title of this song. It's most definately "Boogie Blues", NOT "Drum Boogie" which is a similar, but different song. "Anita's Blues '76" is an altogether different blues that Anita wrote. So this particular song didn't "go through so many different names" as claimed here...it's always and only been "Boogie Blues".

the song went through so many names. Boogie Blues, Drummer Boogie, and the Live at Mingos '76 cd. Its Anita's Blues '76

It is Boogie Blues, not "Drummer Boogie"

Oh, yes. Also known as Drummer Boogie.

Love that Anita! I, too, have never seen this one. Love it! However, isn't the title "Boogie Blues"? At least a copy. Thanks.

What broadcast was this from? I haven't seen this one before. Thanks for posting!
