Blossom Dearie born in 1924 studied Western classical piano but switched to jazz in her teens. After high school Dearie moved to New York City to pursue a music career and began to sing in groups such as the Blue Flames (with the Woody Herman Orchestra) and the Blue Reys (with Alvino Rey's band) before starting her solo career.[2]
These are photos from concerts where Blue Stars played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
