Our Take

Ah, Shirley Horn, the queen of cool jazz, takes us back to the swinging 60s with her live album "At The Gaslight Square 1961" - and boy, does she deliver. Horn's sultry vocals and smooth piano skills transport us to a smoke-filled nightclub where the gin flows and the music never stops.

The album kicks off with a killer rendition of "Makin' Whoopee," setting the tone for what's to come. Horn's impeccable timing and effortless phrasing shine through on every track, showcasing her mastery of the jazz idiom. Standout performances include "It Had To Be You" and "Come Dance With Me," where Horn's voice soars over the lush arrangements with a power and grace that is truly mesmerizing.

But wait, there's more! The bonus album "Loads Of Love" is a delightful collection of love songs that showcases Horn's softer, more vulnerable side. Tracks like "The Best is Yet to Come" and "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" tug at the heartstrings with their emotional depth and sincerity.

Overall, "At The Gaslight Square 1961" (+Bonus Album: Loads Of Love) is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. Shirley Horn's timeless talent and magnetic presence make this album a standout in her discography. So grab a martini, dim the lights, and let Shirley Horn serenade you into the night. Cheers!
