Like Resonance's recent Sarah Vaughan release, this originates from America's National Public Radio, which used to broadcast rather more jazz than it does now. Captured live in Las Vegas, Horn was near the beginning of her golden final period recording for Verve and is at the top of her form. Included are a couple of very musicianly bossas, making the listener hear anew the joys of Jobim's ‘Meditation’ and even ‘Girl From Ipanema’, and a couple of those heart-stoppingly slow ballads, in the shape of ‘Lover Man’ and Lil Armstrong's ‘Just For A Thrill’. All of these have appropriate yet hardly predictable piano backings, but the big surprise perhaps is the existence of three long non-vocal numbers, accounting for more than a third of the running time and demonstrating just what a groovy instrumentalist Horn was. Not quite as exciting perhaps as the Vaughan, but an excellent expression of Horn's in-person dynamism.
