This is a very pleasant talk with the great Shirley Horn, sitting at the piano. To hear her talking, and playing and singing is a very emotional trip for her fans.

Ms. Horn talks about her artistry in piano playing and singing in an agreeable interview adequately conducted by Ms. McParland.

3.0 out of 5 stars Shirley Horn is not a talker!, March 5, 2006

I buy Marian Mcpartland's Piano Jazz series more for insightful and often history revealing conversations than musical performances. In that sense, Shirley Horn is a mismatch to this kind of talk show program, simply because she speaks way too little. Marion's questions are much longer than Shirley's answers which conclude in a few words. She talked most (in disgust) when the discussion turned to the noisy audience during their live performances. I do sympathise with them but you find no new discovery in such talk. Not being a fan of Shirley, nor Marion as jazz pianist, the contained performances are so, so, even though Marion was clearly having a ball dueting with Shirley, while I remained frozen, unmoved. I wish Shirley sang more than two tunes. Her vocals sound a lot more eloquent than her piano and words.
