Shirley Horn feat. Miles Davis

[Chatelaine2020]

Absolutely lovely !!!

[laurakolb]

terrific ,even with the drum ticks...........

[freddiefreejazzify]

Where is "If You Go", one of the most cherished piece on this album ?

[GwenEams]

Thanks for the great song. This whole album is VERY good. She is fantastic, the band solid, and the guest artists wonderful.

[4099aj]

Although she could swing as strongly as any straight-ahead jazz artist, Horn's reputation rode on her exquisite ballad work. Simply enjoyed Listening to her.....Five STARS

[pmc418]

@4099aj Me too. I wish I could have seen her perform. Extraordinary talent!

[MidnightJazzer]

Stellar piece of work, especially, considering the only track they recorded but had worked many times together threw the years.

[gregbass73]

Masterful.

[jevonj77]

This is some of the most simple...and yet ...more profound jazz performances out...there's so much deeper meaning in their playing here...Miles obviously was gone a year after this was released...

[hippyblood4]

shirley used "silence" beautifuly. just like a note. the same way miles used it. Listen and u will understand what i mean. so 4 the both of them to pharase notes the same way 2gether, is incredible.

TWO OF THE BEST TO EVER DO IT!

[tcumbie]

The tune was written by one Kermit Goelle, who passed away in 1997 at 82. I transcribed the tune from Vic Juris's terrific guitar version. Carley Simon also did it, apparently. I haven't come close to finding an original score (it's not in any of my fakebooks and I have like 10 of them!). If anybody KNOWS (no hunches, please, I've got those) where 'd still like to get hold of it to check my transcription. If anybody wants my transcription, contact me.

... e chi ti dimentica...

just wait and see

[sevenstormclouds]

this is THE song to replay over and over again only AFTER you've healed from a nasty break up...

[gmax6060]

...tener duende.

[bovjer]

this is music

[dulciedo]

Bloody hell! I ain't interested in blue ray, ipad, downloads etc, etc.(i.e. I'm a technophobe) But....You Tube has opened my eyes, or rather, ears, to music that I never knew existed, but wish I had done, 'coz I've got a lot of catching up to do!

[ChefNVogue]

@dulciedo omg i too feel tha same !!!!!!!!!!!

[hnygirl979]

Shirley Horn...I love her. She is the master of silence

[sea1song]

@hnygirl979 What a wonderful way to describe how she sings and plays. You hit the nail on the head. She was a master of time and space. Such a genius!

[jazzmunky]

Shirley is an excellent piano player, real sensitivity, delicious dissonance.

I think the female touch does wonders for jazz, more women needed in this art, please

[jazzmunky]

It's difficult to put into words the meaning of this song for me.

It's the defiant elegant of the individual against the relentless march of time; it's the meaning of jazz, of our lives, cast against the cold slate of eternal sleep. It's the triumph of the human spirit, yet acknowledging the futility of it all, in the face of nothingness.

It felt like this on first listen, words can't help.

[jazzmunky]

oh...back again for more.

This song means more than the words and chords. It's Miles for the one and only time playing in an older style for his dear friend Shirley who he helped make a break in the business.

It's saying farewell in a way, from the man with the most beautiful, the definitive, sound of jazz. The tick-tock of the hihat the backdrop to this farewell note (maybe they weren't thinking of it at the time, this art says it to me at least)

[ESSPIRIT1]

@jazzmunky THEY were thinking of it :-) Miles, even wanted Ms Shirley to try playin' with His Band (in the 60'), but Ms. Shirley wouldn't leave D.C.& her Daughter. Ms. Shirley, as-a Pianist-Musician, had the finest Melodic-Time-Sense; especially-of the Long-Meter, as was The Chief' primal-attribute too.

[jazzmunky]

Painful painful song

too beautiful

[SEEDORFMAN]

[tommytwilight62]

This awesome song was written by the songwriting team of Fred Spielman & Kermit Goell (WHO??) and the song was originally featured in the movie "Torch Song" (1953) with Joan Crawford performing (voice dubbed by the very talented India Adams). Now, as we know, there's no dubbing for the incomparable Shirley Horn & Miles Davis. I love them both on their own and together in this fabulous collaboration.
