R.I.P.: Blossom Dearie, 1926-2009
This one hurts the heart a little bit: Blossom Dearie, one of the greatest lady singers and wits of Ever, passed away over the weekend. She was truly a class act.

Yeah. Read about this yesterday. How cute is she in those Blue Note studio shots with the glasses?

In my experience, Annie? Bleary lovemaking on a rainy Sunday does it every time. Jose Eber would agree.

Her recording of “Is That All There Is?” is perfect. Maybe, in keeping with the song, that’s the question she’s right now asking herself about heaven.

She was so wonderful. A real singer of love songs. This makes me sad.
