  • Estate ... italian song by Bruno Martino. Canzone transfigurata da Shirley in una interpretazione jazzistica di altissimo livello. Shirley oltre a cantare sussurrando, suona il piano usando la dissonanza in modo superbo. Grazie Shirley by Jo

  • I feel as though Shirley & Nina are so wrongly overshadowed by Ella/Bille/Sarah, and both of them KILL on the keys!

  • Heaven has the prize now that we loved on earth. Thank you so much for your genius!!!

  • oooooooooooooo it's GREAT .....I'm loosing for my words...

  • Hypnotic...Exquisite...Masterf­ul. I remember her singing this at Holly wood Bowl and completely mesmerizing and silencing a rowdy evening audience. Shirley had amazing power in her tenderness.

  • Hypnotic...Exquisite...Masterf­ul

  • Amazingly beautiful, intimate! Thank you.

  • You've turned my eager no to tender yeses...

  • Shirley is Love incarnate. Thank You

  • Wow!

  • Delicious!

  • Mention Ella , mention Sarah, mention Billie and everyone knows who you are talking about. Mention Shirley and you get "who"? That is so, so wrong! She was so up there with the best of them. A totally unique and magical singer and performer.

  • The music is so gentle, so sensual. It's almost that one need to have COURAGE to experience the full effect of this awesome presentation.. It's deep...so calming...so sensual...so real.

  • Mesmerising! This is real music :)

  • This is what it feels to be in love... the miracle !!

  • Oh so wonderful!!

  • great!

  • Ms. Horn is so breathtaking!! You can't tell if, its live or the dvd version! She has a style that I adore ! I wish I could have seen her perform.

  • Awesome vid/song! Thanks.

  • Incredible Voice..! I have loved her version of 'Estate' since 10 yeas ago. Thank you for posting! :D

  • Another hauntingly beautiful performance by Ms Horn... I swear the whole "Here's To Life" recording should be placed in the Smithosian because the CD is nothing short of a masterpiece!!! Thanks for uploading this wonderful reminder of Shirleys brilliance.

  • I find myself on the edge of my seat when she sings, the way she phrases and uses space, makes me anticipate her next word, and then I find myself breathing a sigh of release only to have the whole cycle start all over again. After the song is over, I'm drained, tired, she's kept me at a fever pitch of anticipation. This is what singing is all about and she doesn't hoop and hollar or have a big range, yet she plays her audience like a puppet with her masterful phrasing and use of space.

  • @nancydrew5 Brava Nancy...I would not have known to describe it better...

  • @nancydrew5 exactly,you describe it brilliantly ...

  • Bruno Martino told me: I didn't composed a masterpiece with Estate, Joao did it.

    but I love Chet and Shirley Horn amazing versions.

  • ...Beautiful...

  • ....class!

  • Simply no words to describe such magnificence. I wish I could have seen her live.

  • this is the song that started my love affair with ms. horn. so simple, delicate, haunting and sublime. thank you so much for posting!!!

  • this is my favorite shirley horn song . . and the video will not play :-(

  • The Mistress of infinite Space

  • Shirley and Jobim. Match made in heaven. Thank you so much for sharing. What pure class.

  • @k8nairne : @k8nairne : true, Shirley and Jobim have a wonderful connection, but this song is not Jobim's.

    Joao Gilberto made a beautiful cover of this Italian song (Estate means Summer in Italian), and Shirley had it translated in English. I agree totally on the pure class!
