On a lot of levels, however, it wasn’t a successful record. The album was a one-shot collaboration that happened in the narrowest possible window-of-opportunity. the Three Sounds, having left Blue Note, were passing through the Verve roster, where they would be active for about a week in October of 1962, cutting two albums in that time including this one with Anita O’Day, who was leaving the label after 10 years there. Anita O’Day & The Three Sounds is as much a Three Sounds record as it is an Anita O’Day recording — the group is represented by four instrumentals, including “Someday My Prince Will Come,” “My Heart Stood Still,” and “Blues By Five,” cut at the same time as their album Blue Genes, while O’Day sings five songs. She is amazingly restrained and low-key throughout most of her work here; on songs like the sultry “All Too Soon,” that works out fine, but elsewhere the fit between singer and group seems uncomfortable. There’s very little excitement or tension to give her songs energy, and O’Day never interacts with the trio in any discernable way. Additionally, she seems uninspired in terms of any inventiveness, with long stretches of silence where one would have expected her to improvise. What is here is fine, her husky yet playful voice a wonder to hear on “When The World Was Young” (where Gene Harris’s piano does come to life), but there’s amazingly little life to the proceedings. The one exception is “Whisper Not,” which also has the distinction of featuring O’Day’s Gene Krupa-era collaborator Roy Eldridge on trumpet and is the most successful cut here, as what one would look for on a more conventional Anita O’Day album.
