About the artist Shirley Horn

Shirley Horn is widely regarded as the premiere singing pianist in jazz since Nat ‘King’ Cole. She is renowned for her inimitable ability to negotiate melodies and lyrics at an exquisitely unhurried pace. Horn discovered the allure of her singing when, at seventeen; she was playing in a local restaurant/night club. Audiences continued to ask for songs and Horn eased into her role as a vocalist. Although content to stay at home, Horn was coaxed away to New York City in 1960 by Miles Davis. Notoriously disdainful of singers, Davis had been seduced by Horn's debut recording, Embers and Ashes. He invited her to open for him at the Village Vanguard, catapulting her into a limelight she had never sought. After Horn retreated from view for much of the 1970s and 1980s to raise her daughter, she found her fame blossoming anew after her 1987 signing to Verve. What Davis, Quincy Jones, and others heard as early as 1960 has been affirmed over the years by numerous awards and recognitions. In addition to her GRAMMY award and nominations, Horn has won five WAMMYs, the Washington area's music industry award. In 1987, she was presented the Mayor's Arts Award for ‘Excellence in an Artistic Discipline’ in Washington, DC. Vocally Shirley Horn does not sound like anyone else. Although the way she carried out her vocals was akin to the personal relationship and intensity one feels when listening to Billie Holiday, Carmen McRae, King Cole, or even Louis Armstrong; Shirley Horn was an original. Not a scat vocalist but rather a sensitive vocalist: she presented her lyrics with improvisational bending and changing of notes in an artistic style that is the essence of true jazz. Shirley Horn died Thursday night 20th October 2005 in her native Washington, DC, after a long illness.
