[spadge1able]

fabulously cool.

[TheFlutevisions]

The lushness of this arrangement is incomparable to the many I've listen to.

[artwitstick]

I found her too late and she was gone too soon. Thanks Shirley for your intimate timing, you remove all our anxiety. I miss you!

[idontpay]

Thank You



[idontpay]

What does Estate' mean? Is it Portuguese?

[TheReturnOfStephan1]

@idontpay

I think it's Italian for summer.

[Medalstep]

@TheReturnOfStephan1 yes, it is

[TheReturnOfStephan1]

@idontpay It's definitely Italian for summer.

Summer, in Portuguese, is verão.

The composers of this song are both Italian.

[bratsheMag]

Superb!

[NUVOGRIOT]

SUPERB! Master collabo. Its hard to believe she didnt win the Grammy that year for best jazz performance( they missed it on this one). The entire album is perfect from start to finish

[TheReturnOfStephan1]

@NUVOGRIOT

It's nuts that she didn't win, though arranger Johnny Mandel did win the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocal(s) for the album.

[TheFlutevisions]

Music has many different dimensions . In this ballet form the beauty is in the steady tempo. The tempo is slow and gentle. Ms Horn is magnificent .

[Ladeusalatina]

what a woman! cant help stop listen to this song! it seems she is whispering in my ears in a summer night...and i love the thempo and the phrases she gives...amazing!

[jazz1bro]

Wonderful music!

[hnygirl979]

I just get chills listening to her beautiful voice.

[artwitstick]

From " Here's to Life ". If we purchased and played no other piece of music, the world would be a much gentler place...

[hnygirl979]

@artwitstick Oh My God, you are so right. What a beautiful album and a beautiful song.

[joeb434]

I think these are Johnny Mandel arrangements in conjunction with Shirley Horn. What a combination!  You should here this album on a good system. Blow you away.

[rpsmom]

Thank you Tracy...I might never have known about her. This song...I just keep coming back to it. @Renee I am not surprised this was on a Sinatra-type channel... You are lucky to have Sirius. Anyway.....long sigh....isn't this the most beautiful song?

[ReneeThomasMusic]

@rpsmom lol @ I'm lucky, I don't have it, my ex does, I was driving his truck that day...and yes, this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard during my entire existence here on planet Earth! :-)

[rpsmom]

There is almost nothing more peaceful than this song. SooperDooperDave said "Entrancing," that describes this so perfectly. What an amazing taltent. I want to go to sleep and wake up to this song.

[nyc828]

Thank you so much for posting this!! I love it so . I love this beautiful haunting song!!

[SlugaBoziji]

There actually exists a person who can hit a dislike button on a masterpiece like this one.

[MsChannigan]

AND no one does it better than Ms. Horn.

[MsChannigan]

This is my very favourite piece of music ever... it touches the soul... deep.

[ChefNVogue]

Bravo !!!!!!!!!! Ms. Horn , Bravo..........

[ReneeThomasMusic]

I heard this while cruising, it came on the Sinatra Sirius FM channel. surprised I didn't crash, I was caught in a trance. BEAUTIFUL!!!!! :)

[gmax6060]

...wonderful.

[sugarshula64]

Soooooo Very, Very Nice.

[lesatz4]

Hola Stephan..

Hacía tiempo que no entraba en YouTube.

En fin, veo que cómo siempre tu elección musical es magistral.

Este tema versionado por S, Home, es uno de mis preferidos.

De pequeña lo escuchaba mucho por Ornella Vanoni.

Besos,

Elsa

[Oreon207]

Brilliant. Next to Billie Holiday, Shirley Horn is the First Lady of Jazz, 

[reisflavio0408]

You touched my heart....very good! Bravo!

[rybread325]

this was the song that started my love affair with ms horn. it is the most beautiful song i've ever heard. so simple, delicate, haunting, mesmerizing . . . love it.

[ChefNVogue]

@rybread325 you said it !!!!! Cheers !!!!

[maidoodesu]

very nice ! です.

[acuareladedios]

que mujer!!!

[techorb]

thanks so much for posting both of these. i have live at vine st. on vinyl and it's an amazing recording in every way.

[poprad5960]

no one - no one - will ever sing down tempo ballads as well as Shirley. How she could make a song sound so entrancing at this tempo is nothing short of magical.

[ChefNVogue]

@poprad5960 my , my.............

[coolsmoothie1]

Thanks for the post. I've always loved this song. So enchanting!!!!!

[pz0973]

Alessandro, ti dedico questa meraviglia, so che potrai sentirla, da qualche parte, nel cielo...

[MexNortheastTaste]

Fantastic Voice!!!!

[jazzsingerlady]

I discovered this album 17 years ago, and even then, at 13 year old it was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I'm a woman now, and having experienced some of life's ups and downs, I am more moved by it today than ever... so grateful to have this music in my life.

[nyc828]

Thank you for posting this!! This CD is magnificant! I love her reneditions and style. Her music lives on as I play something of hers everyday! Another treasured artist we have lost!

[ChefNVogue]

@nyc828 im right there with you , call me obsessed , and proud of it !

[Feesharp9er]

I thought the Same thing ,.Ouch...

[HansvanMokum]

There will never be another female jazz musician who can compare with Mrs. Horn. She was and wil be unique.

[zane5153]

I meant to agree! She was an is incredible! I love this entire album!

[KenJWC]

When first on the scene, people couldn't believe it was one person playing the piano and singing. Shirley took off 20 years from her career to raise her daughter. Diana Krall does just about all Shirley's tunes. Never giving her any credit.

Ah ... hasn't Shirley lived life. You can hear it. Beautiful soul.

[zane5153]

@KenJWC Just breath taking! The first time I heard "here's to life" I just had to buy it. I get chills listening to her voice which has such depth, such a regal quality. Someone who has truly lived.

[carlmonico]

WONDERFUL !!!!

[SooperDooperDave]

I play this over and over again on here and it never loses it's spellbinding power over my senses. It is the most beautiful song I have ever heard.

[coolsmoothie1]

@SooperDooperDave It really is a fantastic song!! I love it like that too:)

[Isolar]

PERFECTION:)

[FamousTonyC]

Immaculate songstress. There is absolute perfection in this song, its supporting musicians and, without a doubt, its singer. Simply masterful.

[404Orion]

Nobody should sing this song after this , I'TS BEEN SUNG .

[kathrynandnancy]

Amazing!! Rendition w/ Shirley Horn and Johnny Mandel!

I agree w/ Sooper dooper! Entrancing!

I can believe that this super singer/songwriter/dazzling pianst sounds so magnificant in the Jazz miieu and it seems as if noone has ever heard of Shirley and/or Johnny Mandel, arranger!

It boggles the mind, truly and deepley!

Johnny (Shadow of your Smile, et al., ). I love you and Shirley (great pianist that she is)!!!

[SooperDooperDave]

Entrancing - true class and this version can't be beaten.

[TheReturnOfStephan1]

I've posted her live version, too.

It's in the "Related Videos" list.

[SooperDooperDave]

@TheReturnOfStephan1

I was amazed at the live version - it just sounded like this version but without the strings. What a perfect performer. What a perfect song - beautiful, magical and melancholy. Thanks for the live version too.

[TheReturnOfStephan1]

@SooperDooperDave

You're quite welcome.:)

[TheEvaCarlson]

My Master. Absolutely Fabulous.
