Dawn Clement Quartet

With Dear Ms. Dearie, pianist and vocalist Dawn Clement offers a luminous, deeply swinging homage to the singular vocalist/pianist, Blossom Dearie. Less a tribute than a tender correspondence across time, Clement inhabits the repertoire with wit and quiet daring amid the masterful accompaniment of bandmates John Clayton, Jeff Hamilton, and Steve Kovalcheck.

Together they reimagine 15 of Dearie's beloved songs—from lush ballads like "Once Upon a Summertime" to the cool swing of "Tout Doucement" and the smartly snapping "It's Love"—through inspired arrangements that balance swing with intimacy, sparkle and hush.
