In May of 1995, Horn turned her home into a recording studio and invited jazz luminaries such as Elvin Jones, Joe Henderson, Buck Hill, and Roy Hargrove to jam with her trio. The wonderful result is a spontaneous, relaxed, real life jam, where each one of her magical guests gets his say. Horn's choice of material is always compelling and chosen with exquisite taste. Her smoky vocals are intimate and conversational, relying on odd metre and silence, rather than volume, to make an emotional point.
Horn's speciality is the slowed-down ballad and here there are haunting versions of "The Look Of Love" and "You Go To My Head" where Joe Henderson weaves his tenor saxophone around Horn's sultry vocals. Other gems include cool jazz-swing versions of the classics "Fever" and "Peel Me A Grape", as well as a hard swinging "All Or Nothing At All" with fiery solos by Buck Hill, Joe Henderson, and Elvin Jones. This is a consistently fine labour of camaraderie and love for, as Horn states "Music, THE MAIN INGREDIENT".
This Shirley Horn CD is a little unusual, as it was recorded at her home. The four sessions utilized some of her favorite musicians, including bassists Steve Novosel and Charles Ables; drummers Steve Williams, Elvin Jones, and Billy Hart; trumpeter Roy Hargrove (on "The Meaning of the Blues") and Joe Henderson; and Buck Hill on tenors. As usual, virtually all of the songs are taken at slow tempos, with "All or Nothing at All" given a definitive treatment. Other highlights include "The Look of Love," "Fever," and Henderson's playing on "You Go to My Head."
