awesome. you can get so much across without screaming, convulsing, and adding endless mannerisms. she puts so much into the song while forcing nothing. bravo, a fantastic performance.

Although I was born in the 70's my parents were jazz people. I remember hearing Shirley Horn as a kid. Her voice - there is nothing like it and she was just as talented a pianist. This guy is great too. Thanks for posting this clip.

[roodypoot]

What a trooper she was. The uninitiated haven't a clue how much more to her there was than is seen in this clip. I miss my baby.

[Creolelady281]

Does anybody know how old she was when this was made?

The piano player with Shirley is George Mesterhazy who played with/for Shirley the last years in which she performed live. George can be heard with Shirley on her CDs, "But Beautiful, The Best of Shirley Horn" and May the Music Never End, both on Verve. I believe on May The Music Never End, George plays both piano and guitar or perhaps just guitar. George can also be heard on vocalist Rebecca Parris' CDs, "My Foolish Heart" and "Spring."

It´s sad she couldn´t play the piano any more! No one could comp behind her like she did!

[KojiRecords]

Toward the end, Shirley had started to play again by using her prosthesis; I told Shirley that no one could accompany her on piano more effectively and efficiently than herself, which Shirley agreed with me in one of our many conversations during this time. George Mesterhazy's banal accompaniment sucks, the total Horn sound is Shirley, Steve and Charles. Shirley and Charles RIP LOL

Fantastic. Oh how I love this lady. She is a one off. She makes the lyrics paint pictures in your mind and her piano playing just blow me away. I missed seeing her live by one day in Singapore and I will always regret that so much. God bless you Shirley and god bless you Taddypoe fo uploading thi video. x

thanks for posting Shirley Horn! You have more???!!

[Taddypoe]

There is another song I want to put on. Hopefully, I can have it up soon.

[amtrakatsfnyc]

Again, we can witness the genius and creativity of a vocalist who knows the music of any song that she performs. God Bless Shirley. She is missed by many people who like the refinement of music.

[jazzbrats]
