Info for Blossom Dearie (Mono Remastered)
Though she made her first appearance in 1952 as the uncredited 'answer voice' on King Pleasure's celebrated 'Moody's Mood for Love,' it still took a few years for Blossom Dearie to establish herself as a solo artist. Boasting expert support from the likes of bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jo Jones, 1956's „Blossom Dearie“ was a debut worth waiting for. With her schoolmarm voice and whimsical air, Blossom Dearie today is known as one of our pre-eminent cabaret artists. What her first LP makes clear is that she was (and remains) foremost a bona fide jazz musician, grounded in a solid sense of swing.
„Blossom Dearie“ features the singer in varied guises: piano instrumentalist ('More Than you Know'), up-tempo swinger ('Everything I Got'), jazz balladeer ('Loverman'), and French chanteuse ('Comment Allez Vous' and 'Tout Doucement'). Ms. Dearie infuses the proceedings with her estimable humor and magical delivery, lending each performance the bloom of 'A Fine Spring Morning,' a title which closed the original LP in songful style.
„Other than a pair of sessions for the French Barclay label during 1955-1956, this set (which has been reissued on CD) has pianist-vocalist Blossom Dearie's first recordings as a leader. Teamed up with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jo Jones, Dearie is heard in her early prime. Although her voice has always been an acquired taste, its sincerity and sense of swing wins one over after a few songs and Dearie's piano playing is first class. In addition to the 14 original selections (mostly swing-era standards plus a couple of French songs), there are three previously unreleased numbers including 'Blossom's Blues,' which dates from 1959. This album is the perfect introduction for listeners to the unique sound of Blossom Dearie.“
