This CD reissue brings back a historic session, vocalist/pianist
Shirley Horn's last before she drifted into semi-retirement so she could raise her daughter. Her sidemen on this date include trumpeter
Joe Newman, flutists
Frank Wess and
Jerome Richardson, and guitarist
Kenny Burrell, but the main star throughout is
Horn. Not all of the material is equally strong and none of the very concise dozen performances clocks in at even three minutes, so this is not an essential session. But
Shirley Horn fans and completists will want the generally enjoyable vocal date. ~ Scott Yanow
