This concert which took place on March 7, 1992 proved to be one of the artistic milestones of Shirley Horn's career. This recording presents the highlights of that memorable evening. The first half of the program offers new, more richly naunced interpretations of songs she has performed throughtout her career - the jaunty Wouldn't It Be Lovely?, Curtis Lewis' mordant Old Country, the sultry Do It Again, and a breath-taking, introspective version of the Rodgers and Hart classic, It's Easy To Remember.
It's easy to imagine why Shirley Horn has become a favourite of French audiences. Her hushed and sultry half-spoken vocals and penchant for romantic standards can easily coexist with the likes of Jaques Brel or Serge Gainsbourg. This, Horn's fourth release on Verve Records, is a recording of a remarkable concert that Horn gave on March 7th, 1992 at the soldout 2,000 seat Theatre Du Chatelet in Paris (one of Europe's premiere concert halls). Horn's and the entranced French audience's feelings of love are mutually expressed in this absolutely stunning program.
This release is one of the finest concert recordings in jazz history. Charles Ables and Steve Williams, her amazing rhythm section, are perfectly tuned to Horn's shifts in metre and nuance. Every cut from this concert is a masterpiece and standouts include a swinging "Old Country" and "L.A. Breakdown", but Horn's speciality is the ballad and there is no one in music who can sing a balladslower. Horn knows how to make time stop while the music continues to groove. The high point of the evening is certainly her version of the Leon Russell ballad "A Song For You" which she brilliantly segues into Gordon Jenkin's "Goodbye". |
