..by Shirley Horn / Embers And Ashes/ Where Are You Going |
 | Description: | Shirley Horn (1934-2005) was an accomplished pianist who happened to sing
extremely wellâ??infinitely superior to almost all of the many so-called jazz singers who
weremuch better known than she was. Shirley Horn sang like Shirley Horn and no one
else. There are nomannerisms borrowed fromother singers, no phony funk or resorting
to cliché. Her control of vibrato was enough tomake her exceptional, but her approach
to a pretty songwas amature one. As one of themost pleasing andmostmusical singers
in the business: she embraced the melody, without strain or fuss and her singing was
unpretentious and full of grace.
Now, Fresh Sound Records is proud to present, for the first time on CD in stereophonic
sound, Embers and Ashes, Shirleyâ??s first album, a gem that, considering her eminent
reputation and a host of admirers, including Miles Davis, remained incomprehensibly
forgotten after its release in 1960. In addition, this CD also includes another outstanding
albumthat she recorded years later under the titleWhere Are You Going. Both deserved
to be reissued again for the benefit of all her fans. - ..BY SHIRLEY HORN /EMBERS AND ASHES/WHERE ARE YOU GOINGThe album 'Embers and Ashes' in STEREOPHONIC sound for the first time in CD format
