Shirley Horn
Shirley (*1934) was an American jazz singer and pianist. She collaborated with many
jazz greats including Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Toots Thielemans, Ron Carter,
Carmen McRae, Wynton Marsalis and others. She was most noted for her ability to
accompany herself with nearly incomparable independence and ability on the piano
while singing, something described by arranger Johnny Mandel as "like having two heads",
and for her rich, lush voice, a smoky contralto, which was described by noted producer
and arranger Quincy Jones as "like clothing, as she seduces you with her voice".
Shirley died in 2005.
