Free Music Review: slow masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars
It seems to me that the slower the tempo of Jazz songs, the more meaning and emotional content they contain.
And Shirley Horn really loved that slow tempo that she could pour herself into, that she could ring every drop of meaning out of songs, even songs that usually are faster. Jazz is often full of players with great technique who play at breakneck speeds and leave little of themselves in the groove. Soul is an overused term. This heart-wrenchingly slow music has a palpable sense of spirituality. Real soul.
Miles Davis himself did all his most emotionally involving work before 1964. Then he started to zip through his older songs...
Well. Shirley Horn so impressed Miles Davis in 1963 with her slowed tempos that three of the songs of his "Seven Steps to Heaven" were done as Shirley Horn did them! Shortly after she dropped out for almost two decades, to raise a family.
This CD is Always Wonderful, involving, thoughtful. Late night, romantic listening. A reflection of how early Miles would have did them. Roy Hargrove does an excellent job of phrasing his lines as MD would.
I'm sorry to have only found out about this major DC area talent after her recent death. I would have loved to have heard her do these songs live!
I Remember Miles Poster
Shirley Horn is a talented jazz vocalist/pianist who has been recording since the early 1960s. Her delicate voice was an inspiration to Miles Davis, who performed three standards on his disc, Seven Steps to Heaven after hearing Horn's evocative interpretations. On I Remember Miles, Horn pays tribute to the late trumpeter by singing those standards ("Basin Street Blues," "Baby Won't You Please Come Home," and "I Fall in Love Too Easily") and reprising a trio of tunes from Porgy And Bess. Accompanied by trumpeter Roy Hargrove and harmonica virtuoso Toots Thielemans as well as Davis alumni Ron Carter on bass and Al Foster on drums, Ms. Horn displays all the nuance and style that endeared Miles to her in the first place. A moving homage. --Mitch MyersJazz Music CDs
