Search - Blossom Dearie :: Give Him the Ooh La La

Simply irresistible

(5 out of 5 stars)

"An excellent easy-listening jazz album performed by a unique singer. Her high-pitched, sweet and half-naive, half-spicy vocals, as well as the spare piano-based arrangements exquisitely enhance an original repertoire which is in general quite far from "the same as usual" standards. Blossom conveys a great tenderness in ballads as "Try you're wings" or "They say it's spring" and swings extremely well in songs as "Between the devil and the deep blue sea" or the title track. And she can also be so sexy in the cabaret-ish, French-language "Plus je t'embrasse", one of my favourite tracks. Charming!"

It will resonate with your heart

"Why I bought this album:
I first heard the song "Try your Wings" from the movie "My Life without Me" (great movie by the way)I liked the song so much, I bought ~$800 of speakers so i could do her voice justice.(just listen to the 30sec sample when it's 2am in the morning after 2 glass of Merlot, you will probably agree)The rest of songs are pretty good too.I have no idea why she is not well-known as Ella or Diana Krall."

A must have for any Blossom Dearie fan

"Many songs here highlight Miss Dearie's unique voice and character. You can't help smiling as you listen to this cd. Then again, any Blossom Dearie cd will do that to you. Original liner notes accompany the collection."
