You can’t deliver a performance like Shirley Horn’s “Here’s to Life” unless you’ve lived a little – or a lot. It’s an album only an artist with decades of love, loss, and resilience could create. In this episode, we break down Horn’s unmatched ability to accompany herself, the elegance of Johnny Mandel’s string arrangements, and the quiet confidence that defines every track. Whether you’re discovering Shirley Horn for the first time or revisiting a favorite, this episode will leave you hearing her – and your own life – a little differently.Listen to your favorite YHI jams, original tunes and more: https://osjazz.link/musicJoin Open Studio for ALLLLL your jazz lesson needs: https://osjazz.link/yhiYou’ll hear:Horn’s piano-first vocal approachHow Miles Davis helped spark her third actThe brilliance of Johnny Mandel’s orchestrationsPeter and Adam's tips for arranging for vocalistsWhy this album is 90's jazz at its finestand more!
