Description

By 1952, Miss dearie was in Paris where she sang in a successful nightclub act with Annie Ross, scoring triumphs in the Mars Club and the Club de Paris along the Paris nightclub circuit. Remaining in Paris several years, she earned praise from Variety and, more pertinent to this album, was heard  by Norman Granz, head of Verve Records, who porptly arrainged for a recording session once Miss Dearie hit these shores. Miss Dearie recorded with her own group, known as the Blue Stars, and turned out a piano album, but with the exception of an eight-bar vocal on  a King Pleasure record and playing piano accompaniment for Annie 
Ross, this is the first time she has been recorded in her home country. Miss Dearie since her return in the summer of 1956, has appeared at such New York clubs as the Chantilly and the Show Spot. 
As for the songs on this album, they would seem to be a blend of the durable standard- Rodgers and Hart being represented on three, Rodgers an Hammerstein on one, and Vincent Youmans, Jerome Kern and Burton Lane one apiece- and the rarely heard, offtrail melody. Tje team of Haymes and Clark-he's Bob Haymes, who wrote "That's All" and happens also to be Dick Haymes' brother-wrote three of the songs, Haymes provding some new French lyrics added to "I Won't Dance" and " It Might as Well Be Spring." Also in French vein there's Murrat Grand's "comment Allez Vous" (meaning "How Are You?" ) and Jean Mercadier's "Tout Doucement" (or "Very softly"). A six-voice chorus backs Miss Dearie on these two in addition to "It Might as Well Be Spring." Since it is from listening to Jazz artists here and abroad that Miss Dearie acqired many of her ideas on phrasing a song, it is fitting that she can be accompanied her by such accomplished jazzmen as Ray Brown, Bass, Herb Ellis guitar, and Jo Jones, drums, The piano throughout is Miss Dearie herself.
