"Blossom Dearie (1924-2009) was both ethereal and bold. Her music taught me how to leave space for delight in all of its forms. She has influenced many artists including John Lennon and Bill Evans. Her voice has been heard everywhere from the Grammy nominated Schoolhouse Rock album to Netflix’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel series, yet I still meet music lovers who are filled with joy by just now discovering her. Joe Holt, my pianist, and I have been sharing her music with audiences across the country since the release of our album last Spring. I am especially excited to finally be presenting this concert here in my hometown, in the beautiful performance hall at OperaDelaware."

“The title track is a mesmerizing jazz ballad that embodies a sensual combination of shyness, innocence and romance… a strong and entertaining ode to Dearie’s enduring influence on jazz”
