{"product_id":"blossom-dearie-give-him-the-ooh-la-la-lp-vinyl","title":"Blossom Dearie – Give Him The Ooh-La-La","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlossom Dearie came up in Paris in the early 1950s alongside bebop expatriates, absorbing the café sophistication that would define her sound, and this 1958 session catches her at the peak of her Verve years, surrounded by a rhythm section that reads like a who's who of hard-swinging elegance. Herb Ellis, Ray Brown, and Jo Jones weren't just sidemen; they were the backbone of Jazz at the Philharmonic, and their chemistry with Dearie's whispery precision creates something genuinely rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlossom Dearie - Give Him The Ooh-La La, released in 1958 on Verve Records, captures pianist and vocalist Blossom Dearie's signature blend of cool understatement, crisp diction, and harmonic finesse. Produced by Norman Granz, the session features Dearie on piano and vocals, leading a quartet with guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Jo Jones. The program includes songs by Cole Porter, Rodgers \u0026amp; Hart, and Noel Coward, along with two Dearie co-writes - \"Try Your Wings\" and \"Bang Goes the Drum (And You're in Love)\" - which showcase her wit and compositional touch. From the sly charm of the title track to the graceful melancholy of \"Plus je t'embrasse,\" Dearie's performances balance elegance with rhythmic ease. The intimate arrangements leave space for subtle interplay between her voice and piano, supported by a rhythm section steeped in the language of swing and bop. The Verve Vault series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Just One Of Those Things\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Like Someone In Love\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. They Say It's Spring\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Try Your Wings\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Bang Goes The Drum (And You're In Love)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. The Riviera\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. The Middle Of Love\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Plus Je T'Embrasse\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Give Him The Ooh-La-La\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Let Me Love You\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. I Walk A Little Faster\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602478849145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.9.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verve Records (MGV-2081)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1958  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Just One Of Those Things\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Like Someone In Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 They Say It's Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA5 Try Your Wings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA6 Bang Goes The Drum (And You're In Love)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 The Riviera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 The Middle Of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 Plus Je T'Embrasse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 Give Him The Ooh-La-La\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB5 Let Me Love You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB6 I Walk A Little Faster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRay Brown – Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJo Jones – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHerb Ellis – Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurt Goldblatt – Photography By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlossom Dearie – Piano, Vocals, Arranged By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54553140461886,"sku":"59632232","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12634933068094-transparent-v2.png?v=1791387572","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/blossom-dearie-give-him-the-ooh-la-la-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
