Shirley Horn Artist Snapshot:

Despite the encouragement of Miles Davis and Quincy Jones early in her career, jazz pianist and singer Shirley Horn stuck around the Washington, D.C., area and raised a family, playing the local clubs all throughout the '70s. In the early-`80's however, Horn was recorded first by the European SteepleChase label, then by Verve, and her career finally began to take off. Horn's graceful keyboard style is class personified, and ballads are her vocal specialty. She eventually received seven Grammy nominations, won an award for the Davis tribute I REMEMBER MILES, and was inducted into the Lionel Hampton Hall of Fame in 1996. Despite being ill with diabetes in later years, Horn performed and recorded until her death in 2005.

Review

Entertainment Weekly (9/16/94, p.121) - "...her concert audience...seems so rapt that it didn't make a peep during Horn's gently murmuring performance...And so will any listeners Stateside..." - Rating: B
JazzTimes (11/94, p.75) - "...Shirley Horn's particular talent seems to be to treat a song with great tenderness and respect..."

Title Note

Personnel: Shirley Horn (vocals, piano); Charles Ables (electric bass); Steve Williams (drums).

Recorded live at Theatre Du Chatelet, Paris, France on March 7, 1992. Includes liner notes by Joel E. Siegel.

I LOVE YOU, PARIS was nominated for Best Jazz Vocal Performance in the 37th Annual Grammy Awards.

It's easy to imagine why Shirley Horn has become a favorite 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 sold out 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 meter and nuance. Every cut from this concert is a masterpiece and standouts include a swinging "Old Country" and "L.A. Breakdown," but Horn's specialty is the ballad and there is no one in music who can sing a ballad slower. 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."
