Vocalist Jaye Maynard will appear in Bird Amongst the Blossom: A Tribute to the Blossom Dearie Songbook, honoring the centennial of the music legend on the actual day of her 100th birthday, Sunday, April 28 at 7:00 PM at Chelsea Table + Stage.
Jon Weber serves as music director, with Leon Lee Dorsey on bass, and Blossom’s own Dave Silliman on drums. Special guest artists will include Grammy Award-winning trumpeter Nabate Isles, international flutist Celina Charlier, and vocalist Eve Fleischman.
Blossom Dearie was a unique and inimitable singer, pianist and songwriter whose legacy of material is fresh, hip, smart and sassy. Maynard styles her show as a mid-century modern cabaret to inform and entertain, containing songs written exclusively for or by Dearie including Mahriah Blackwolf, Bob Dorough, Johnny Mercer and Dave Frishberg.
Tickets are $25-$50, in addition to a service charge and a two-item food and beverage minimum. A livestream option is available for $20.
Chelsea Table + Stage is located at 152 West 26th Street, NYC
