About

Singer Jaye Maynard pays homage to the wised-up baby-doll jazz stylings of the late Blossom Dearie, with Jon Delfin on Dearies own piano, and Leon Lee Dorsey accompanying her on bass as Maynard interprets "The First Blossom Dearie Songbook," containing songs written for and by her by Bob Dorough, Johnny Mercer, Dave Frishberg, and of course Dearie herself.

Dearie was a unique and inimitable singer whose legacy of material is fresh, hip, smart and sassy. Maynard styles her show in a midCentury modern cabaret both to entertain---and to inform.

PlaidBird Productions and the United Solo Theatre Festival will present "Bird Amongst the Blossom- A Tribute to the First Blossom Dearie Songbook" at the Theater Row Theatre's Studio Theater on Tuesday, November 15th at 9pm, featuring Jaye Maynard (vocals), Jon Delfin (musical director/piano) and Bill Pace (bass) as part of the 2nd Annual United Solo Theater Festival...
