 (1 Customer Review)
Pianist/vocalist Blossom Dearie's lone Capitol session is probably her best-known album. Backed by an unidentified orchestra, Dearie sings concise versions of a dozen songs, all of which clock in under three minutes. Her small and cutesy voice will not appeal to all listeners, but she has long had a cult following. Highlights include "I'm in Love Again," "Quiet Nights," "May I Come In?," and "I'm Old Fashioned." ~ Scott Yanow

May I Come In? album
 $8.39   
A near-perfect set of standards (and a novelty or two), 1958's ONCE UPON A SUMMERTIME just might be the quintessential Blossom Dearie album. By the time of her third LP for Verve, Dearie's whimsical style had fully blossomed, so to speak. Except that Dearie was never just about sounding adorable. She is a jazz musician through and through, as well as an interpretive singer of the first rank. And the interpretations are especially intriguing here. "Tea For Two," ...

Though she made her first appearance in 1952 as the uncredited "answer voice" on King Pleasure's celebrated "Moody's Mood for Love," it still took a few years for Blossom Dearie to establish herself as a solo artist. Boasting expert support from the likes of bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jo Jones, 1956's BLOSSOM DEARIE was a debut worth waiting for. With her schoolmarm voice and whimsical air, Blossom Dearie today is known as one of our pre-eminent cabaret artists. What her first LP makes clear is that she was (and remains) foremost a bona ...

May I Come In? music CDs
$8.05 
Blossom Dearie is rightly considered one of our premier cabaret artists. But Ms. Dearie began her career as a bona fide jazz pianist and singer. She first was heard in 1951 as the female answer voice on King Pleasure's be-bop vocalise "Moody's Mood For Love" and, beginning in 1957, recorded a series of LPs for Verve, of which OOH-LA-LA was the second. Then as now, what impresses most about Blossom Dearie is her fresh sound--light but not delicate, funny, swinging and lyrical when called for.
What might be come off in a lesser talent as a cute schoolteacher routine--Miss Crabtree painting the town a shade of red--is offset by honest musicianship and a real schoolteacher's attention to the English language ...
| | Blossom Dearie Sings Comden & Green CD (1959) Remastered
May I Come In? songs
$10.65
Originally released on Verve (2109)/(6050). Includes original liner notes by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, and reissue liner notes by James Gavin.
Digitally remastered by Kevin Reeves (Universal Mastering Studios-East).
Buoyed by the success of Ella Fitzgerald's songbook series, Verve executive Norman Granz suggested to one of his other artists, Blossom Dearie, that she tackle the canon of lyricists Betty Comden and Adolph Green. But while Ella's acrobatic voice proved more than a match for any brand of songwriter (especially heavyweights like Gershwin, Porter, and Berlin), Dearie's porcelain vocals and restrained theatrics didn't immediately leap to mind when thinking of Comden and Green's exuberant material. Still, Blossom Dearie Sings Comden and Green is an interesting songbook, a collection of ten standards done Dearie's way, like no other. Usually accompanied just by bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen, she exercises a great deal of restraint for the usually confident "Just in Time." When the same technique is applied ...
