Description
OperaDelaware is delighted to host jazz vocalist Sharon Sable and her ensemble for “They Say it’s Spring – The Music of Blossom Dearie” on April 21 at the OperaDelaware Studios.
A message from Sharon Sable, vocalist and program curator:
Blossom Dearie (1924-2009) was both ethereal and bold. Her music taught me how to leave space for delight in all of its forms. She has influenced many artists including John Lennon and Bill Evans. Her voice has been heard everywhere from the Grammy nominated Schoolhouse Rock album to Netflix’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel series, yet I still meet music lovers who are filled with joy by just now discovering her. Joe Holt, my pianist, and I have been sharing her music with audiences across the country since the release of our album last Spring. I am especially excited to finally be presenting this concert here in my hometown, in the beautiful performance hall at OperaDelaware.
