Vocalist
Blossom Dearie's Summetime is a low-key collection of chamber-jazz arranged for a small trio. Working with guitarist
Mundell Lowe, bassist
Ray Brown, and drummer
Ed Thigpen,
Dearie sings the material with a gentle conviction; she may never sound passionate, but she never sounds like she doesn't care. The result is a pleasant record, that might never be a compelling listen, but it's never a bad one. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide
