Shirley Horn - Live At The Village Vanguard - New York, USA - 1991 - 2006 release


Her ballads are sensitive and knowing, and on the jazzy up-tempos Shirley horn swings like hell! In this very rare live performance captured at New York's Village Vanguard in 1991, renowed jazz singer, pianist and GRAMMY winner Shirley Horn displays her astounding musical command through 12 classic songs, accompanied by the inimitable Charles Ables on bass and Steve Williams on drums. See and hear why this elegant artist was truly one of a kind, and why the legendary Johhnny Mandel said of her: " Shirley Horn is the one singer who all the other great singers - Peggy Lee, Carmen McRae - bow down to" 78 minutes of pure jazz swingin with the legendary jazz singer Shirley Horn.
