Dear, Ms. Dearie is a project shaped by time, listening, and deep affection for the music of Blossom Dearie. Drawn to her understated brilliance—her swing, humor, and quiet authority atthe piano—this recording honors the elegance of her songbook while allowing the music to breathe in the present.The ensemble features Jeff Hamilton and John Clayton, artists whose sound, feel, and generosity define what it means to play this music at the highest level, alongside guitarist Steve Kovalcheck, whose warmth and clarity bring a lyrical voice to the band. Produced by drummer Matt Wilson, the project was arranged with care and intention, shaped specifically for this group of musicians.In contrast to more exploratory and original-driven work often associated with the leader’s output, Dear, Ms. Dearie turns toward the song itself—intimate, grounded, and quietly swinging. It is both a tribute and a conversation: with Blossom Dearie, with the tradition, and with the artists who continue to carry it forward.AND Make any night special with our Date Night Package. $45 for a delightful bottle of wine and a decadent dessert to share.
