The 29 performances assembled here illuminate the full breadth of Dearie's talent -- for a singer with such a distinctively girlish, refined style, she was remarkably soulful as well, deftly navigating the twists and turns of songs like "I Like London in the Rain" as well as bossa nova compositions like the beautiful "Meditation" and "One Note Samba." Because much of the material featured on Blossom Dearie for Caf‚ AprŠs-midi originates from the singer's scarcest LPs, this Japanese release is a steal even at import prices -- the songs are perfectly selected and paced, and the mastering is impeccable. ~ Jason Ankeny If You Enjoy "Blossom Dearie for Caf‚ Apr‚s-midi (CD)", May We Also Recommend:
