Among the great moments in the career of Blossom Dearie, an exceptional singer and pianist, are the concerts she gave and recorded in the Netherlands between 1968 and 1989, of which we have a faithful reflection here, thanks in particular to a fine recording. She dominates all instrumental formats, from solo to the large Metropole Orchestra, and all repertoires, from the film song “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head”, which she magnifies, to Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now”, which she renews with intelligence, not forgetting a masterpiece for which she is responsible, “Winchester in Apple Blossom Time”. Not forgetting her other personal works, as well as “Bring All Your Love Along”, of which we hear the first recorded version here. Blossom’s sublime farewell, eternal spring, in the form of a delicate reverence.
