Free Music Review: Wonderful mood setter
Hit: 5 Stars
I had never heard of Blossom Dearie until a good friend recommended her to me. I've listened to this CD numerous times and enjoy it more with each sitting. From her wistful, "The Party's Over," to the more upbeat "Just in Time," Dearie is nothing but captivating. Her backing members, Kenny Burrell on guitar, Ray Brown on bass, and Ed Thigpen on drums bring to mind a dark, smoky jazz club in 1950's Manhattan. Serve me another scotch and spin the CD again.
Blossom Dearie Sings Comden and Green Poster
Blossom Dearie was 32 when she recorded this album in 1959. But there's always been something of a little girl's artlessness in her singing, which somehow radiates great sophistication. That peculiar mix sets her apart from other '50s singers who also favored a cool, minimally inflected delivery, like Julie London or June Christy. Singing or quietly accompanying herself on piano, Dearie makes less do more, rather like her fan Miles Davis. The band--guitarist Kenny Burrell, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Ed Thigpen--lays low, discreet. The songs, featuring urbane lyrics by Adolph Comden and Betty Green, are drawn from shows and films such as On the Town, Bells Are Ringing, and It's Always Fair Weather, with music by (respectively) Leonard Bernstein, Jule Styne, and Andr? Previn. Not all selections are as strong as the standards (and standouts) "Just in Time," (an unexpectedly jaunty) "The Party's Over," and the bittersweet masterpiece "Some Other Time," but Dearie's low-key charm carries the day. --Kevin WhiteheadJazz Music CDs
