BLOSSOM DEARIE / MY NEW CELEBRITY IS YOU – VOL. III / 2LP /

(US / DAFFODIL / BMD 103 / 1976 / MEDIA:VG+ ラベルCにのみ書き込み多 / JACKET:VG スレ 縁割れ大 底抜け)

自身のレーベルDAFFODILから発表の1976年作！キュートでコケティッシュなヴォーカルはもちろん、クリーミィなエレピ＋TOOTS THIELEMANSのハーモニカも素晴らしい！
自身のエレピ弾き語りを中心としたサウンドで、バックにはTOOTS THIELEMANS、RON CARTER、GRADY TATE、HUBERT LAWS、JAY BERLINGER、GEORGE DEVINSといった面々が並んだ極上メロウ・ジャズ・コンボ編成の1976年作。ボサノヴァ・アレンジの「KILLING ME SOFTLY WITH HIS SONG」を筆頭に、「YOU’LL NEVER LOSE THE LOVE YOU GIVE TO ME」、RON CARTERのベースにリードされながらコケティッシュな歌声で踊る「MY NEW CELEBRITY IS YOU」、アルバム『SONG OF CHELSEA』でも再演されていることからも、本人のお気に入り曲であろう「THERE OUGHT TO BE A MOONLIGHT SAVING TIME」、クリスマス・ソング「THE CHRISTMAS CARD」まで、通して素晴らしい内容。US ORIGINAL盤！
