This album has songs most of us never heard, and once heard, they become classic...I love this album.
Crisp.
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!
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.
