Our Take

To say Blossom Dearie's "The Hits" is a delightful romp through the world of jazz would be an understatement of monumental proportions. From the first charming note to the last playful lyric, Dearie's unique blend of wit, sophistication, and sheer talent shines through in every track.

The album kicks off with the infectious "I'm Hip," a tongue-in-cheek ode to all things cool and trendy, perfectly showcasing Dearie's sassy sense of humor. This is followed by the dreamy "Someone to Watch Over Me," a heartfelt ballad that will tug at your heartstrings.

Dearie's versatile voice is on full display in tracks like "Peel Me a Grape," where she effortlessly transitions from sultry to playful in the blink of an eye. And let's not forget the jaunty "Tea for Two," a toe-tapping number that will have you humming along in no time.

But it's not just Dearie's vocal prowess that shines on this album. The arrangements are top-notch, with lush orchestration and intricate melodies that showcase the talents of the musicians backing her up.

In short, "The Hits" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast looking for a dose of vintage charm. Dearie's wit and charm are infectious, making this album a true gem in the world of jazz. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of something nice, and let Blossom Dearie serenade you with her timeless classics.

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.
