Blossom Dearie: Sings Comden and Green (CD: Verve)
Betty Comden and Adolph Green are best known as the lyricists behind the musical 'Singing In The Rain' and numerous Broadway shows including 'On The Town'. Leonard Bernstein's musical tale of three sailors' 24-hour stay in New York- plus 'It's Love' from 'Wonderful Town'- takes centre stage on one of Dearie's finest, taped in 1959. Her intimate vocals delicately illuminated by her own piano accompaniments, imbue 'Lucky To Be Me' and 'Some Other Time' with a reflectively coy romanticism that's close to perfection. The Jule Styne numbers (and one from Andre Previn) are given equally tender treatments, notably on 'How Will He Know', and the album takes on a playful, funkier edge when Kenny Burrell joins Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen in the second half of the set, Dearie almost mirthfully discovering 'The Party's Over' and returning to Manhattan for a gently Latinised 'Lonely Town'.

 | Blossom Dearie: Sings Broadway Hit Songs (CD: Verve LPR)
One of the outstanding interpreters of the Great American Songbook, Blossom Dearie turned her attention to songs from the Broadway stage on this 1960 album, which has long been a cult favorite. Dearie’s characteristically wry interpretations of Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, and other masters are beautifully supported by the full orchestral arrangements of Russell Garcia.
