This is Anita is a 1956 (see 1956 in music) album by Anita O'Day.
It was the first in a series of albums recorded by O'Day for the newly inaugurated Verve Records. Norman Granz was the producer on this album, and it was the first album to be released under his new label, thus paving the way for the future recordings from Verve, and this album was Anita's first stint from the big band recordings of the 40's and the early 50's.
