Reportedly, Blossom was first admired for her piano playing. Bill Evans was a fan. She develops her impossibly sweet and wry vocal style only after she was already playing with the big jazzers. This playfully coy sweetheart number is a little late in her career, she's pushing 50, the 1950s are generally recognized as her prime. It's a duet with Pete Morgan, a British jazz bassist and longtime collaborator. Unassumingly simple romantic joy is Blossom's philosophy; her confidence an expression of her commitment. Sui generis.
