Once Upon a Summertime ReviewThis album is the highpoint of Dearie's Verve recordings. The formula is not that different from her other discs--a small-group setting, a selection of a few well-known standards & a sprinkling of rarities & novelty numbers, & the inevitable French tune (the title-tune, though it's sung in English). Yet the disc has a real gravitas & emotional punch that can take the listener by surprise. "Tea for Two" is taken at a very gentle pace, the lighthearted lyrics cracking open to reveal a haunting wistfulness. A similar transformation is worked on "Manhattan". Midtempo tunes like "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top" & "If I Were a Bell" are brightly & charmingly done; the swinger "Moonlight Saving Time" features a very good piano solo from Dearie.
As with her friend Dave Frishberg, Dearie shows that you needn't worry too much about vocal technique when you have some innate musicality, a brain & a sense of humour. A quiet classic of 1950s vocal jazz.Once Upon a Summertime Overview
