Details: Amazon.ca Veteran singer-pianist Shirley Horn demonstrates on You're My Thrill that her talent remains undimmed. While not as flexible as it was, her voice is still warm and assured. As for her piano playing, this is as confident and elegant as it ever was. Although the list of singer-pianists in jazz is quite small, it has also seen many outstanding artists. Horn has always been among the front-runners and this set ably demonstrates why this is so. With subtle keyboard touch and convincing interpretations of the lyrics, she presents with great flair an attractive selection of songs that are well known without being hackneyed. Her regular trio mates, bassist Charles Ables and drummer Steve Williams, are present on most tracks and on six songs they are augmented by a large orchestra, arranged and conducted by Johnny Mandel. Other instrumentalists make guest appearances but it is Shirley Horn's show all the way. --Bruce Crowther Product Description Horn, Shirley
