Blossom Dearie

My wife's favorite jazz singer, the ultimate chick music. I like her, too. She is also a good piano player, just like Mose Allison and King Cole, my other favorite jazz vocalists. Blossom has a fragile little girl's voice, not much by itself - but with her understated piano, a very tasteful selection of songs, and the appropriate nerdy looks, it all comes together. She creates an image of a vulnerable femme - a pose that any girl likes to strike and one that makes the guys feel very masculine.
An obligatory bit of trivia: Blossom Dearie is her real name.

    Blossom is not necessarily the best, but she is different, and therefore interesting.

    @ J. Thyme, Oh yeah, Sarah Vaughn is not bad either and there are more that are worthwhile...
