This is such a swinging, sweet and tasty Jazz album. Its titled: Blossom Dearie: The Pianist: Le Blue Stars (Jazz in Paris). With Blossom Dearie (piano), Herman Garst (bass), and Bernard Planchenault (drums). Performing: The Continental, The Boy Next Door, They Can’t Take That Away From Me, Moonlight Saving time (There Ought To Be), The Surrey With The Fringe On Top, April In Paris, Blue Moon, and Down The Depths of The 90th Floor. In addition are four tunes by Le Blue Stars, a vocal octet (Blossom Dearie, Christiane Legrand, Jeanine deWaleyne, Nadine Young, Fats Sadi, Christian Chevalier, Roger Guerin& Jean Mercadier)singing: Le Legende du pays des oiseaux, Lettre a Virginie, Toute ma joie, and Embasse-moi bien, in French, of course. The album was recorded in Paris in 1955. And sounds as fresh and, come on let’s just tell it like it is: as COOL and as HIP – as if it were recorded this afternoon. This from the liner notes, simply because it cannot be better expressed: “I’ve said that Blossom Dearie possesses a rare talent: that of allying taste and simpicity, an unfailing harmonic sense, a light , soft touch, and finally swing.” – Raymond Fol. I concur wholeheartedly. This is one Jazz album to savor and treasure. Sampled & purchased on Amazon. Most highly recommended.
