The passing of Shirley Horn - Jazz Legend


It is indeed with heavy heart that I am reporting the passing of Shirley Horn on Thursday night at the age of 71.

She was a true original. God rest her soul.

You Won't Forget Me was a very appropriate title that she performed.

She certainly won't be forgotten.
I am going to have a tribute night to a Jazz Master,she has a voice that is all one can ask for.My friend has all her Verve records and they sound fantastic!! In some ways singers are like artists, they are appreciated even more when they are gone. God speed Ms Horn
Let's don't forget her incredible piano artistry, right up there near the top with Ellington, Brubeck, McCoy Tyner, and Monk, etc. Just like her singing, the timing and inflections are amazing, chock full of soul. The real thing.
Ms. Horn's return to recording on the 1992 "Here's To Life" work is incredible. It stands as firm testament to Ms. Horn's wonderful talent and beautiful nature. It will reach the heart of the most cynical amoungst us.
