Great career retrospective

Although Horn began in the early '60s include plates (mainly Mercury and ABC / Paramount), the most gifted pianists initially found only a small audience for their publications. Over the years she worked for numerous obscure label before 1987, the live album "I Thought About You" late but deserved breakthrough singer rang. The albums "You Will not Forget Me" (1990) and "Here's To Life" (1992) secured a place at number one jazz album charts in the US. Songs from these CDs also meet the "best-of" collection of Horn with diversity and musical brilliance. The singer seems to float through songs like "Here's To Life", the Peggy Lee classic "Fever" or the invitation "Come Dance With Me". They converts sent between blues, rather dry jazz pieces and provided with strings, "sweeter" sounds. Horns smoky timbre has probably influenced Diana Krall, who has a pretty similar style at the presentation of their songs.
