Lullaby of Birdland & Other Famous Hits
Blossom Dearie is one of the most brilliant and attractive singers in jazz (the Astrud Gilberto of serious jazz). She formed Blue Stars Of France at the outset of her career in the early fifties and the band enjoyed an immediate American hit with their imaginative version of George Shearing's 'Lullaby of Birdland' which was arranged by Michel Legrand. The Blue Stars Of France album is the coolest modern music, from it evolved the Double Six Of Paris, Lambert Hendricks & Ross And The Swingle Sisters. Five Four. 2006.
