Blossom Dearie born on this date in 1924. By nineteen fifty-nine, Dearie had already conquered the Paris jazz scene and made her mark in London, but this Verve Records session marked her full arrival as a recording artist in America. Producer Norman Granz paired her with an impeccable rhythm section -- Ray Brown on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums -- plus Kenny Burrell's guitar and Bobby Jaspar's flute. Featured tracks: Gentleman Friend, Someone To Watch Over Me Deep in the Stacks is a daily jazz podcast from Kissa Kissa in Brooklyn.
