Jazz Musician of the Day: Blossom Dearie
All About Jazz is celebrating Blossom Dearie's birthday today!
Born 28 April 1928, East Durham, New York, USA. A singer, pianist and songwriter, with a “wispy, little-girlish" voice, Dearie is regarded as one of the great supper club singers. Her father was of Scottish and Irish descent; her mother emigrated from Oslo, Norway. Dearie is said to have been given her unusual first name after a neighbour brought peach blossoms to her house on the day she was born...Born 28 April 1928, East Durham, New York, USA.
