DESCRIPTION:
1957 Vocal KAzz LP Repressed on 180g Audiophile Vinyl - 2
Blossom Dearie was part of the NYC beboppers scene that often gathered at Gil Evans' apartment, was in the social circle that began developing "Birth of the Cool" and at the same time was a fixture in the Jazz clubs of the 1940's.
The legendary jazz producer and founder of Verve, Norman Granz, heard Blossom singing in Paris and offered her a contract. She returned to New York to record her debut album produced by Norman Granz in 1956. The LP spotlights Blossom as a chanteuse and pianist. Miles Davis once said, "she was the only white woman who had soul", while Bill Evans noted her playing really "knocked him out".
In her first recording for Verve, Blossom Dearie showcases her sense of swing and her first-class piano playing on this self-titled 1957 gem. Dearie surveys the Great American Songbook on standouts like “’Deed I Do” and “Thou Swell”, as well as three songs sung in French! The Verve By Request title features a remastered transfer on 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
Tracklist: Side A 1. Deed I Do 2. Lover Man (Oh Where Can You Be) 3. Everything I've Got 4. Comment Allez Vous 5. More Than You Know 6. Thou Swell 7. It Might As Well Be Spring Side B 8. Tout Doucement 9. You For Me 10. Now At Last 11. I Hear Music 12. Wait Till You See Her 13. I Won't Dance 14. A Fine Spring Morning

Born on 28th April 1924 in East Durham, New York, of mixed Scottish and Norwegian ancestry, Dearie began her career in vocal groups in New York. In the early 1950s she moved to Paris, forming her own vocal group, The Blue Stars, later to become the Swingle Singers.
After signing to Verve, Dearie returned to the U.S. where, despite developing a successful career and achieving international fame, by 1974 the lack of interest from major labels led her to start her own label, Daffodil Records. She continued performing into her eighties.
