VERVE MGV-2037 BLOSSOM DEARIE s/t VERVE BY REQUEST 2023 LP

Verve Records/UMe and Third Man Records have partnered to resurrect the popular reissue series, Verve By Request, with a vinyl twist. Focusing on rare gems and fan-requested jazz albums from the Verve Label Group's stable of iconic labels, the series will offer two titles per month — each hand-picked by Verve and Third Man Records. The records will include both long-out-of-print titles from the vault as well as the first-ever vinyl pressings for albums released in the '90s and aughts that were only originally released on CD.

Albums will be newly remastered from original analog sources, when available, and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Third Man Record Pressings in Detroit.

In her first recording for Verve, Blossom Dearie showcased her first-class piano playing and sense of swing on this self-titled 1957 gem. Dearie surveys the Great American Songbook on standouts such as "Deed I Do," "Thou Swell," and three songs sung in French! Verve By Request Series features transfers from the analog tapes remastered on 180-gram vinyl.
