Blossom Margrete Dearie (April 28, 1924 – February 7, 2009) was an American jazz singer and pianist, often performing in the bebop genre and remembered for her light and girlish voice. One of the last supper club performers, she performed regular engagements in London and New York City over many years.
Early life
Dearie was born on April 28, 1924, in East Durham, New York, to a father of Scots Irish (Ulster) descent and a mother of Norwegian descent. As a child she studied classical piano but switched to jazz in her teens.
Career beginnings
After high school, Dearie moved to New York City to pursue a music career and began to sing in groups such as the Blue Flames (with the Woody Herman Orchestra) and the Blue Reys (with Alvino Rey's band) before starting her solo career.
Dearie moved to Paris in 1952 and formed a vocal group, the Blue Stars of France, which included Michel Legrand's sister, Christiane Legrand, and Bob Dorough. In 1954 the group had a hit in France with a French-language version of "Lullaby of Birdland". The Blue Stars would later evolve into the Swingle Singers. While in Paris, Dearie met her future husband, the Belgian flutist and saxophonist Bobby Jaspar. On her first solo album, released two years later, she played the piano but did not sing.
This is Dearie's first American solo album. Already known for the group "Les Blue Stars" of France and their French version of "Lullaby of Birdland", Norman Granz personally invited her to record for Verve Records.

This song is solely a reflection of my personal emotions during a weird period in my life. The lyrics emphasize the need to communicate verbally and physically with someone who seems far away. The video doesn't interpret the lyrics exactly, but provides an easy-going, gentle feel as the song.

Blossom Dearie (vocal/piano), Ray Brown (bass), Ed Thigpen (drums), Kenny Burrell (guitar). Music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. Written for the Broadway show On the Town (1944).
Blossom Margrete Dearie (April 28, 1924 – February 7, 2009) was an American jazz singer and pianist, often performing in the bebop genre and remembered for her light and girlish voice. One of the last supper club performers, she performed regular engagements in London and New York City over many years.
Early life
Dearie was born on April 28, 1924, in East Durham, New York, to a father of Scots Irish (Ulster) descent and a mother of Norwegian descent. As a child she studied classical piano but switched to jazz in her teens.
Career beginnings
After high school, Dearie moved to New York City to pursue a music career and began to sing in groups such as the Blue Flames (with the Woody Herman Orchestra) and the Blue Reys (with Alvino Rey's band) before starting her solo career.
Dearie moved to Paris in 1952 and formed a vocal group, the Blue Stars of France, which included Michel Legrand's sister, Christiane Legrand, and Bob Dorough. In 1954 the group had a hit in France with a French-language version of "Lullaby of Birdland". The Blue Stars would later evolve into the Swingle Singers. While in Paris, Dearie met her future husband, the Belgian flutist and saxophonist Bobby Jaspar. On her first solo album, released two years later, she played the piano but did not sing.
Though she used some of the same artists for inspiration (BlossomDearie, the Beach Boys), this time she focused on the quirks in their catalogs, like Nilsson’s concept album-turned-animated ...
I wanted to crawl under the table with embarrassment! It’s such a great tune and, if it wasn’t about me, I’d record it and sing it.” Fame returned the compliment with Blossom, a song in celebration of Dearie on his 1970 album Seventh Son.
