Blossom Dearie
UK release. New Yorker journalist Whitney Balliett once wrote that her tiny wisp of a voice "would scarcely reach the second story of a doll's house", while jazz critic Leonard Feather described it as "a voice in a million". Blossom Dearie pursued a singular career that blurred the line between jazz and cabaret; her little girl style rich with hidden sensuality; her interpretations full of sensitivity and wit. Many of her beloved recordings - The Verve album, Jazz Sweet, the EP with Bobby Jaspar, The Blue Stars recordings and the early sessions - are included in this 3 CD box set presentation along with The Perfect Sound - The Jazz Flute of Bobby Jaspar, which includes some of his most sublime performances in recordings with the trombonist J. J Johnson, pianist Hank Jones, vibraphonists Milt Jackson, Michel Hausser and John Rae; with trumpeter Donald Byrd, guitarists Barry Galbraith, Sacha Distel and fellow Belgian Rene Thomas, the vocalist Helen Merrill with Bill Evans, and finally three finely sculpted tracks accompanying Blossom on her 1959 album, My Gentleman Friend.
