Featuring Jaye Maynard (vocals), Jon Delfin (musical direction/piano) and Leon Lee Dorsey (upright bass) with additional direction by Mary O'Brady. Vocalist, Jaye Maynard, a recent participant at the renowned International Cabaret Conference at Yale, pays homage to the wised-up baby-doll jazz stylings of the late Blossom Dearie. Maynard received Pick of the Week by the International Review of Music in both LA and NYC for performances earlier this year. For several selections, Delfin accompanies Maynard on Blossom's last apartment piano, which she discovered and purchased on Ebay after Dearie bequeathed it to the Manhattan Association of Cabarets. Maynard interprets "The First Blossom Dearie Songbook", containing songs written for and by Dearie in collaboration with Johnny Mercer, Bob Dorough and Dave Frishberg. There is a $15 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.
