Reviews
“Other than a pair of sessions for the French Barclay label during 1955-1956, this set has pianist-vocalist Blossom Dearie's first recordings as a leader. Teamed up with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jo Jones, Dearie is heard in her early prime. Although her voice has always been an acquired taste, its sincerity and sense of swing wins one over after a few songs and Dearie's piano playing is first class. In addition to the 14 original selections (mostly swing-era standards plus a couple of French songs), there are three previously unreleased numbers including "Blossom's Blues," which dates from 1959. This LP is the perfect introduction for listeners to the unique sound of Blossom Dearie.” AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow
