Anita ODay was one of the greatest of American jazz singers and this is
her astonishing storya journey of survival, and above all the endurance
of her talent, told in a number of frank interviews with her and with those who
knew her. Her career was long and eventful, spanning seven decades, her last
album recorded when she was 84. This documentary of a legend was co-directed by
Robbie Cavolina and Ian McCrudden who produced with Melissa Davis.
Steve Herberman and his trio stretch out over a set of
favorite modern jazz classics and originals ranging in styles, meters and
moods. The unique arrangements and extended improvisation coupled with subtle
group interplay holds the listeners attention. At the root of Steve's playing
is a love of contrapuntal textures, a harmonic approach to improvising and
rhythmic diversity. "Ideals" consists of four new original compositions
and seven standards with a few surprises.
