About
This year marks the centennial of the birth of Blossom Dearie, a legend in both the New York and London club scenes. Renowned for her delicate, kitten-like voice and playful, tongue-in-cheek vocals, Dearie masterfully navigated the realms of jazz and cabaret. With hits like 'I'm Hip' and 'Peel Me a Grape', she humorously critiqued the very culture she was part of.
An evening dedicated to Blossom Dearie promises laughter, sophistication, and, most importantly, exceptional music. Celebrated as a 'musician's musician', Dearie collaborated with some of the finest musicians and songwriters of her time, including Johnny Mercer, Miles Davis, and Duncan Lamont. Her music, familiar to many from film and television - most notably in the acclaimed Amazon series 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' - continues to enchant new audiences. Her French songs, evocative of 1950s Paris, add a touch of nostalgia.
