Blossom swung harder in microcosm than any band I know of did in macro----the smaller the microcosm was the harder and more perfectly she swung, as evinced by her recordings with only her own piano accompaniment. Those remain my favorite. Only analogous singers I know with similar power to move: Mel Torme, Eva Cassidy.
This great album.(my first Dearie just a couple weeks ago) is so well balanced, well..it hits a groove in the middle of the album that just RULES! the choice of songs is THE BEST. And I believe it's her on piano...and if true...she's doing Bill Evans before Bill did it. This album is classic!
yay she singin' in french in the song! hooray, tres cute!

Blossom left us all dancing to the warm-hearted feelings she brought us.

Too bad she's not remembered as much as she deserves to be. What a great talent.

Such a welcome change from all the over-the-top divas. Always loved her best doing the old jazz standards - such a loss.
