This singer reminds me of an era where audiences were prepared to be charmed and prepared to listen to extraordinary artists such as Blossom Dearie. Minimal Amplification/Jazz Piano= Enchanting result. Reserved,Dignified and sheer class.
Cleverly done. Like the Black and White video giving it the retro look of the 30's and 40's. Good taste in your music pick, a Rodgers and Hart 1930's classic played by the best cabaret/jazz performer.
No. thank you for introducing her to others who might not otherwise have known about her. I knew her when I was very young in London, she introduced me to jazz at the Ronnie Scott's club. I lost contact but will always remember her as a great artist and a wonderful human being. Thank you Blossom.
This jazz lullaby was photographed perfectly by you. You should shop this around some of the satellite channels for use as a video. This work of yours is lovely. It matches Blossoms singing and adds to it. I've seen this video of yours several times before leaving a comment now. I'm going to watch your others. You may have found your calling.
Very nice Blossom brought me to here...I think she REALLY captures a mood that depicts Manhattan...probably on a lazy sunday, which is seldom exposed...It seems to be typically typified as hustling and bustling , whereas Blossom....
I found your most excellent video this morning in the middle of a rediscovering Blossom Dearie binge that began Saturday night. I'm deeply fond of Manhattan and Miss Dearie. With your hand held B&W and the music, you've posted a beautifully sophisticated valentine. My first NY show officed in Olympic Towers the skyscraper seen just behind St. Patrick's Cathedral near the end of your essay. Many thanks.
So very nice. Smooth, cool and even gentle. Great Video! I'm there, searching for a soggy water dog and looking for a bookstore. Dang, I forgot my scarf.
I come back to this wonderful video from time to time - It is so charming. Thank you for honoring the music of Ms. Dearie and the little old town of New York City. Hope you've had more chances to visit NYC since this video was made!
Lovely song. Note: the pretty pictures of many of yous, home town; don't for get to see Tokyo, or London Or Paris. Great places too. Even Blossom sang about London, in the rain. . o0o
Love the video and your choice of music. I cannot believe I am lucky enough to live in this amazing city. I am grateful every day. Thanks for reminding me!
Blossom sings this song like she doesn’t want it to end and if you love New York you don’t want it to end either.
Blossom describes NYC as no one else can. Blossom is a 'trip'...........
no jazz singer come close to Blossom Dearie,singing this song no one.
Thank you so much for this...here in 2022. Blossom evokes my Manhattan
so perfectly. Pure Class..The city as I remember it.

Within my lifetime actually - thinking of Marion Montgomery, Cleo Laine, Mel Tormé, but this time is over unfortunately. But we have the recordings.

This totally knocks me out. It brought tears to my eyes so subtle and beautiful
Sweetly sung by Blossom like a meadowlark bird. Bravo!!!! Pretty Good!!!!
The best interpretation ever. Tempo, articulation, chords, general accompaniment and more. lots, indescribably more!

This is so beautiful, Geri! Thank you for sharing
No one beats this version of Manhattan (imo)

Blossom was something special. I named my cats Blossom Dearie and Chet Baker
Oh God! The most goose-bumpy song of all time.
Very nice

so beautiful. i knew of blossom dearie thru schoolhouse rock (figure 8) and the melancholy "now i know." Thank you for posting this.
This clip just oozes serenity, it's fantastic to escape to. Thank you.
idk if i'll be able to see manhattan in my lifetime but this does the trick to soothe for now
thanks for bringing me to tears!! LOL two of my favorite things; New York and Blossom Dearie...this is beautiful!
At long ago, I had a Girl friend and we danced Manhattan , for the first time . I did not forget the girl and the tune. Thanks .
What great taste you have Geri! Blossom Dearie and Manhattan..Perfection.
This video is awesome, thank you so much for making it!
I cannot wait to listen to this while waiting for the bus in heavy snow with the Christmas lights lighting up everything.
+MegaSnippezz Sounds lovely.
Very nice video. Just literal enough. I can feel your quiet excitement at being there. And all topped off with Blossom Dearie!
One of my favorites. You did such a good job at capturing this song.
Beautiful job, nicely edited, and your choice of Blossom Dearie was spot on. Congratulations!
So very nice. Smooth, cool and even gentle. Great Video! I'm there, searching for a soggy water dog and looking for a bookstore. Dang, I forgot my scarf.
I come back to this wonderful video from time to time - It is so charming. Thank you for honoring the music of Ms. Dearie and the little old town of New York City.
Hope you've had more chances to visit NYC since this video was made!
Just perfection
Stunning
Visiter New York grâce à Dearie, quelle chance !
Makes me want to move to New York...but not in the winter! ha
Makes me pine for a simpler time. New York's cafe society in the 1950's. Real class!
My favorite "Manhattan" and "Tea For Two"
...although Mel Tormé's version is also part of the history of this glorious song!
Richard, Moss, Blossom & Geri. As good as it gets
Excuse me. Lorenz, not Moss…
I'll miss New York 'til I get back and 'til then I'll have a moniker drink in sake and forsoothe... 'eres too you Dearie...
Wonderful footage and great recording.
Great taste for the music (Blossom Dearie!!) and the video. Congratulations!
Fabulous recording. Sounds like it was recorded yesterday. I have the albums (nowCD's) from the fifties...this is on them. You want to get them.
Woke up this morning to this version of "I'll take Manhattan". Alas, I found your charming little video. Thank you , so lovely.
Nicely done. I stumbled up on this while researching Blossom Dearie. What a nice visual and audio treat - perfect blend. Kudos.
Geri, I keep coming back to this video. Thank you for bringing back happy memories of NY. Make more videos.
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Lovely song.
Note: the pretty pictures of many of yous, home town; don't for get to see Tokyo, or London Or Paris. Great places too.
Even Blossom sang about London, in the rain.
