Silvia Manco Hip! Trio
The Blossom Dearie Songbook
Silvia Manco presents a project dedicated to Blossom Dearie, pianist and vocalist with a very original artistic personality albeit in the wake of the great tradition of the piano / vocal trio that dates back to Nat King Cole and Shirley Horn: Silvia thus pays tribute to a cult artist from all over rediscovering, collecting the legacy and making his own, with a contemporary touch, a refined repertoire taken from the American Songbook and beyond.
Blossom Dearie, much loved by the European public, and French in particular, finds today in Enrico Rava one of his greatest admirers as it is evident from the liner notes contained in the Hip record!

Silvia Manco Hip! Trio
The Blossom Dearie Songbook
Silvia Manco presents a project dedicated to Blossom Dearie, pianist and vocalist with a very original artistic personality albeit in the wake of the great tradition of the piano / vocal trio that dates back to Nat King Cole and Shirley Horn: Silvia thus pays tribute to a cult artist from all over rediscovering, collecting the legacy and making his own, with a contemporary touch, a refined repertoire taken from the American Songbook and beyond.
Blossom Dearie, much loved by the European public, and French in particular, finds today in Enrico Rava one of his greatest admirers as it is evident from the liner notes contained in the Hip record! The Blossom Dearie Songbook (Jando Music / Parco della Musica Records) recorded by Silvia with her American trio (Dezron Douglas on double bass and Jerome Jennings on drums) with the participation of Enrico Rava himself and Max Ionata.
On the occasion of the concert at the Elegance Café on Friday 13 March, as part of an exhibition entirely dedicated to the leading musicians of their groups, the trio will see Francesco Puglisi on double bass and Marco Valeri on drums
Liner Notes:
“”We who are lucky enough to love Blossom Dearie, who know all his records, who cannot do without his voice so slender but at the same time so intense and exciting and its essential way (the necessary notes) to play the plan. We are not very many. Blossom (yes, it’s her real name) was, as they say, a “”musician’s musician””. Almost for initiates. And I’m sorry for what others are missing. When you meet “”Blossomdipendenti””, a strong current of sympathy immediately starts with the pleasure of sharing something very special. This is what happened to me when I met Silvia, and when she told me about this project and asked me to participate, I couldn’t help accepting this gift with joy. “” (Enrico Rava)
Silvia Manco, piano and voice
