Our Take

Ah, Blossom Dearie - the pint-sized, pixie-ish jazz sensation whose voice is as sweet as a cup of Earl Grey on a rainy Sunday morning. This collection of her early years from 1948-1960 is a delightful trip down memory lane, showcasing the evolution of an artist who was both ahead of her time and delightfully of it.

From the cheeky charm of "I'm in the Mood for Love" to the wistful nostalgia of "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top," Dearie's vocals are as smooth as a fine single malt whisky, with just a hint of mischief lurking beneath the surface. Her piano skills are equally impressive, fluttering and dancing across the keys like a butterfly on a summer breeze.

But it's not just Dearie's musical talents that make this collection so special - it's also her infectious personality that shines through in every note. Whether she's crooning a love ballad or belting out an up-tempo number, there's a sense of joy and playfulness that is impossible to resist.

So, pour yourself a glass of bubbly, dim the lights, and let Blossom Dearie transport you back to a simpler time when jazz was king and the world was just a little bit brighter. The Early Years Collection is a gem of an album that reminds us all of the magic of music - and isn't that what it's all about, dear reader? Cheers to you, Blossom - you truly are a legend in your own time.

About the artist

Blossom Dearie

Ah, Blossom Dearie. The pint-sized jazz powerhouse who charmed her way into the hearts of music lovers worldwide. With a voice as smooth as butter and a style that was as unique as it was captivating, Dearie was a force to be reckoned with in the jazz scene. Born Margrethe Blossom Dearie in New York City in 1924, she began her musical career at a young age, honing her craft in the smoky bars and clubs of the Big Apple. With a piano prowess that left audiences in awe and a voice that could melt even the coldest of hearts, Dearie quickly made a name for herself in the competitive world of jazz. Throughout her illustrious career, Dearie released over 20 albums, selling millions of copies worldwide and earning critical acclaim from music critics and fans alike. Her playful, witty lyrics and impeccable phrasing set her apart from her peers, solidifying her status as a jazz legend. Despite her success, Dearie remained humble and down-to-earth, always prioritising the music above all else. She was known for her quirky sense of humour and infectious personality, endearing herself to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Sadly, Dearie passed away in 2009, leaving behind a legacy that will forever be etched in the annals of jazz history. Her music lives on, a timeless reminder of the talent and artistry of one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. Blossom Dearie may be gone, but her spirit lives on in the hearts of music lovers everywhere.
