Product Description
Un Essentiel amazon.fr
L'histoire d'une profonde amitié. Nous sommes en 1992, et la chanteuse Shirley Horn exprime son désir de travailler avec un compositeur et arrangeur qu'elle a toujours admiré, Johnny Mandel. L'auteur de "Where Do You Start ?" répond avec enthousiasme à cette invitation. Ils décident alors de se retrouver en studio, en compagnie d'un orchestre de cordes. Cet album "with strings" révèle, une fois de plus, le délicat chant en profondeur de Shirley Horn, qui sait ici oublier son piano pour se concentrer sur une rencontre inédite avec un orchestre. Les thèmes se partagent entre standards, musiques de films et compositions originales. Un vrai pari qui souligne encore plus des fractures dans la voix émouvante de la chanteuse. Beaucoup de questionnements ("How Am I To Know ?", "Isn't a Pity ?"...) pour une réalisation qui s'éloigne du strict et rébarbatif album de studio. Sans doute parce que la simple émotion d'une voix ne se satisfait en aucune manière de l'éventuel fonctionnariat d'un orchestre... --Eric Frank

The absolute best cd I own!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Heres To Life: W/Strings (Audio CD)
This is by far the best cd in my collection. I cannot add any more accolades than to say that I have purchased at least 20 copies of this disc to give as gifts. I am saddened that we will have no new music from Ms. Horn, but I also know that in 20 years this will still be a masterpiece.

Better Each Time I Hear It,
By Doug Tart (Dunn, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heres To Life: W/Strings (Audio CD)
I bought this CD after hearing "A Time For Love" on another one. I still cannot believe that it is as good from first song to last as it is. I am a lover of ballad style, and this is my all time favorite. I gave my copy away this week to a very good friend, and tonight, I am ordering a replacement. This is music to be recommended and shared, because, there isn't much like it out there. It just gets better every time I listen to it.

The sweetest sounds I've ever heard.,
By
This review is from: Heres To Life: W/Strings (Audio CD)
Simply put, the best jazz vocalist recording of the last 20 years. I've purchased numerous copies to give to people whose musical and aesthetic sensibilities I trust. If depression comes from the inability to find in nature beauty commensurate with that in the human psyche, this album is guaranteed to administer a cure. The choice of songs, the re-visioning of each song, the piano accompaniments of Horn herself, the trumpet work of Wynton Marsalis (who filled in at the last minute after Miles' untimely death), the transcendent arrangements of Johnny Mandel, and the sublime readings of Ms. Horn cannot account for this "miracle" of a recording whose meaning is far greater than the sum of the parts. Not since late Bill Evans have I heard anything this beautiful on record. It fact, it would be hard to leave it off of any list of five best jazz recordings ever.
