Comments

with original Mercury inner sleeve.

Inside The Groove

Shirley Horn sings with gorgeous horn ensemble.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Shirley Horn, one of the good examples of “great talents mature late”, is backed up with gorgeous orchestra on this album. The arrangers are Billy Byers, Thad Jones, Don Sebesky and Quincy Jones, and all of the tracks features Shirley Horn's moody singing.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

8 out of 10
