RIP Blossom Dearie

If you are at all a fan of nightclub culture/cabaret/solo jazz vocalist-pianist stuff, you know who she is and know that it's a loss. Blossom Dearie was a great performer and interpreter of the Great American Songbook (as it's called), performing songs by Porter, Gershwin, Berlin, Comden & Green, Arlen, Dorothy Fields, and the like, as well as some pretty solid bebop and more straight ahead jazz. A true original.
