It's late Saturday nite and Laura is doing exactly what I am doing as well as some of you . . in her tune room listening to music. It ain't complicated. Hi, Laura.
Listening to Shirley Horn's live in the studio* You Won't Forget Me (Verve) which is a terrific sounding disk (whoops!) with guest support from guys like Toots Theilemans, Branford Marsalis and brother Wynton, and Miles. The last music Miles layed down (and only on the title song) before he split, I read somewhere. Ms. Horn is late, too. One of my very favorite bass players is guesting also, Buster Williams. A thousand stars for such intimacy and purity thanks to the sound engineer. And, much charm, thanks to the lady. She also plays piano with
superb touch. A classic for interpretive voice and sound were you to ask me. One that everyone with a beating heart and good playback should own.
*if you couldn't tell by the sound, you can hear Miles giving her a little feedback during the title song.
