Album Description2010 collection from the beloved vocalist. Blossom Dearie was one of the unique Jazz voices of the second half of the 20th century; one of the great interpreters of American song in the post-war era. Despite a catalog of albums of outstanding class for Verve and Fontana in the '50s and '60s and another 15 that would appear on her own Daffodil label from 1974 onwards, Blossom is perhaps best known in America for her memorable recordings of the songs as 'Figure 8' and 'Adjectives' that featured on the '70s children's TV series Schoolhouse Rock. Internationally, Blossom Dearie's understated, playful, sometimes barbed style, has influenced artists as diverse as Kylie Minogue, Cleo Laine and Tracey Thorn. 23 trakcs. El.
