Anita O'Day has died.
The Jezebel of Jazz, Anita O'Day, died in her sleep a couple of days ago while recovering from pneumonia.

Be well, Ms O'Day.

Are there any great jazz divas left, now?

I heard about this while on vacation and while not surprising, it's still very sad. She was one of the greatest vocalists, no matter genre the music.

It's honestly a miracle she made it to 87. For good or bad; she lived life to it's fullest.

Two good obits about her.
