Product description No Description Available No Track Information Available Media Type: CD Artist: HORN,SHIRLEY Title: YOU WON'T FORGET ME Street Release Date: 01/15/1991 Domestic Genre: JAZZ VOCALS Amazon.com Shirley Horn made her recording debut in the early 1960s then returned home to Washington, D.C., to raise a family. She came back to the studio in the late '70s and early '80s, but it wasn't until this 1991 recording--her third Verve release--that she finally received the recognition she was due. You Won't Forget Me features Horn's trio of bassist Charles Ables and drummer Steve Williams, plus guest soloists Miles Davis, Wynton Marsalis, Branford Marsalis, Toots Thielemans, and fellow D.C. legend Buck Hill. The album projects a warm musical vision that elevates lyrical storytelling over fancy scatting. Here, maturity enhances rather than diminishes romantic longing. --Rick Mitchell Review Jazz singer/pianist Shirley Horn, based in Washington, D.C., puts her romantic material across easefully with the dramatic timing and commanding inflections of a quietly eloquent blues poetess. On her third stellar Verve recording she carries listeners through the mystery and melancholy of "It Had to Be You," "If You Go," and other American songbook riches, sometimes prying for meaning with harmonica master Toots Thielemans or trumpet savants Wynton Marsalis and Miles Davis. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993 -- From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
