Blossom Dearie: Four Classic Albums Plus auf 2 CDs

Another great one has gone and we at AVID have moved this release forward in our schedule as a tribute to the legendary Miss Blossom Dearie who recently died at the age of 82.

AVID Jazz presents four classic Blossom Dearie albums on a finely re-mastered and low priced double CD. Blossom Dearie, Blossom Dearie Plays For Dancing, Give Him The Ooh La La and Once Upon A Summertime, plus for good measure and extra value we have also included 6 tracks from her vocal album Blue Stars Of France and her one track recorded with King Pleasure!

So let’s get one thing out of the way first of all, yes her real name was Blossom Dearie, well actually it was Marguerite Blossom Dearie but she wisely dropped the first name to give herself a fighting chance of being remembered in the highly competitive music business. It seemed to have worked as Blossom’s baby doll voice graced the world’s stages for decades having become a solo singer after spells with Woody Herman and Alvino Rey in the mid 1940’s. Our four classic album selections find Miss Dearie in the company of such great musicians as Roy Brown, Ed Thigpen, Mundell Lowe, Herb Ellis and Jo Jones.

All four albums have been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest sound quality ever!
