Our Take
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.
