O’s Notes: Blossom-ing is dedicated to the late Blossom Dearie, a jazz singer and pianist with a distinctive, light, girlish voice. Roberta Donnay is well-suited to performing these sixteen classics that were written or performed by Blossom. Mike Greensill (p), Ruth Davies (b), Mark Lee (d) and José Neto (g) accompany Donnay’s seductive vocals in English and French. “Peel Me A Grape”, “Moonlight Savings Time”, “A Paris” and “I Wish You Love” are some of the best!
