5.0 out of 5 stars Just as soulful..., June 14, 2000

This review is from: For My Lady (Audio CD)

Picked up this CD at a performance the other night with Toots in a duo with pianist Kenny Werner. The incredible chemistry was breathtaking, so I was skeptical about this album, but after only a few listens, I believe it is just as soulful as the show. Shirley Horn's trio deliberately underplays the whole album, and the results are pure melody and feeling. Every song here is a winner. The one vocal song is great, and as usual, Toot's sole composition (the title cut) is an instant classic. Get this record, and go see the man, he is one of the last of the living legends...you will not be disappointed.

Can you imagine a Shirley Horn CD without Shirley Horn singing? Here is the case for this wonderful 5-star CD which showcases the Debussy tasty piano by Ms.Horn as the basis for the ever inventive and sensitive Toots Thielemans. Pure Artistry.

No one questions how old Toots is. He is 83 and is playing at his best, rennouncing to his virtuosistic preciosism and rather opening widely his soul. His companion is the best any musician could wish- Shirley Horn, Charles Ables and Steve Williams. Don't mis this gem.Five stars.
