Compilation of sublime early recordings by Blossom Dearie; one of the most distinctive vocalists jazz has produced Americans know Blossom ‘s voice, mostly through her unforgettable performances of Unpack Your Adjectives and Figure 8 for Schoolhouse Rock. The Japanese - who see her as pop rather than jazz - long ago succumbed to her charm and she has toured there regularly throughout her career. Unlikely as it may sound, Kylie Minogue claims that it was Blossom Dearie who inspired her to sing! What is clear is that her emergence in the mid-fifties was something shockingly different; a breath of fresh air for popular music.
