Blossom Dearie - Sings Comden And Green (1959)


MP3@256KBPS



Originally released on Verve (2109)/(6050).

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.







Recorded at Nola Recording Studio, New York, New York on April 8-9, 1959.





Personnel: Blossom Dearie (vocals, piano); Kenny Burrell (guitar); Ray Brown (bass); Ed Thigpen (drums).




Producer: Norman Granz
