Ali Bodycoat, Libby Hammer and trio
Blossom Dearie was one of the unique jazz voices of the second half of the 20th century. And what a precious instrument it was – intimate and breathy, with a fragile silvery quality that just tickled the microphone. She was a cult, a musicians’ musician and a fixture on the New York nightclub scene for decades. Vocalists Ali Bodycoat and Libby Hammer pay tribute to Dearie by presenting the best of her wittiest, tenderest and most sophisticated songs along with an entertaining narrative, accompanied by a top notch instrumental trio.
“An incredibly powerful, engaging performance… goosebumps stuff…” – Sophie Raynor
