Dearie,Blossom

Description:

Ladies and Gentlemen, Blossom Dearie. New York City smiled as she took the stage for a night of elegance and charm. The avid followers of Blossom Dearie include Kylie Minogue, who showed her huge fan base on the BBC stage, Janet Seidel, whose Blossom tribute album attracted a lot of attention, Lisa Ekdahl, who gained popularity with her Blossom voice, Sarah Gazarek, who also released a Blossom tribute album, and many others. The "Ever-Popular" Blossom Dearie has been carefully protecting the Dafodil label's Volume V album, which is a live recording of her stage performances that New York City loved. This is a live recording of her performance that New York City loved. No chatter or noise is allowed on Blossom Dearie's popular regular stage, which is always a crowd-pleaser. But there is always a chuckle from the audience that sounds just like music in places. The live recording, almost entirely played live, is the first thing fans of the long-running sale "Winchester in Apple Blossom Time" (LXCY-6234) will hear, and the atmosphere is a little closer to that ecstatic atmosphere.As they enter the fifth song, "Baby It's Cold Outside," Blossom says, "I'm going to take a break before the B-Side," and Bob Dorough appears and says, "Wait a minute, how about one more drink? Dave Frishberg, Bob Dorough, and Blossom Dearie is a golden triangle relationship, and this album also features two greatly enjoyable vocal duos with Bob that are surprisingly rarely heard elsewhere." For those of you who are definitely subject to needlepoint magic, the booklet includes lyrics and piano score. Gorgeous!
