Between 1955 and 1963, jazz singer Anita O'Day recorded a string of fine albums for the Verve label, including Waiter, Make Mine Blues, released in 1960. Featuring arrangements and an orchestra conducted by Russell Garcia, the album has been reissued on CD in Japan but is now out of print.

All Music Guide: Waiter, Make Mine Blues pairs Anita O'Day with arranger Russ Garcia, whose delightful and imaginative treatments perfectly complement the singer's lithe vocals. West Coast greats including Barney Kessel and Bud Shank are also on hand to lend the session an even lighter, sweeter tone that couches the melancholy the album's title portends -- songs like "The Thrill Is Gone" and "When Sunny Gets Blue" capture O'Day at her most affecting, balancing her trademark sophistication with the world-weary resignation of one who has loved and lost.
