彼女はワシントン・D・Cで生れ育ち、当地で音楽活動を始め、1960年に地元の小さな独立系のレコード会社で初アルバムになる Embers and Ashes を録音しました。 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embers_and_Ashes このアルバムを耳にしたマイルス・ディヴィスが彼女に電話をかけ、例のしわがれ声で、「N.Y. にでてこないか」とさそったのです。 この電話を受けたシャーリーは、いたずら電話だと思って「いいわよ」と返事をしてしまったのです。 これがシャーリー・ホーンとマイルス・ディヴィスとの結びつきの始まりでした。
(1960年といいますと、マイルス・ディヴィスは Columbia に移籍しており、例のロングセラー・アルバムになっている Kind of Blue (1959) を出した後ぐらいになります。 また、ギル・エヴァンスと組んだアルバム Sketches of Spain (1960) を出していたころで、自身のコンボでのアルバム Someday My Prince Will Come (1961) も出していますが、このピアニストはウイントン・ケリーです。)
また、彼女はピアニストとして、カーメン・マクレイのアルバム Carmen McRae / Sarah - dedicated to you にも参加しています。 このアルバムを録音するときに、シャーリーはカーメンから「一曲歌わない?」とさそわれたのですが、このときはきっぱりと断っています。 (このアルバムは【サラ・ヴォーン ソングブック】で取り上げています。)
1992年の Newport Jazz Festival の映像です。 Charles Ables (b) と Steve Williams (ds) はシャーリーと25年間活動を共にしました。
"Here's to Life" を John Williams and The Boston Pops をバックに歌っている動画です。
"Once I Loved" ロン・カーターとハービー・ハンコックが一緒にいます。

その中の興味深いところを引用します。
Because Jazz exists as an aural tradition, its musicians are highly aware of their genealogy.
They gratefully acknowledge the masters whose music influenced their own styles.
So it isn't too surprising that many jazz musicians have recorded tribute albums saluting their mentors.
Yet, creating a tribute album can be a tricky endeavor, and the best of these albums follow a few basic guidelines.
First, the essence of the original artist's style is present in the new renditions.
Secondly, but equally important, the younger artist grows within the confines of the original artist's repertoire.
Finally, the album stand on its own integrity, so that the music is appreciated when separated from its original context.
Dena DeRose 's new tribute to Shirley Horn admirably succeeds on all of these levels.

You won't Forget Me.
Here's to Life.
You stepped out of a dream
You are too wonderful to be what you seem!
Could there be eyes like yours,
Could there be lips like yours
Could there be smiles like yours,
Honest and truly?
You stepped out of a cloud
I want to take you away, away from the crowd
And have you all to myself,
Alone and apart out of a dream,
Safe in my heart
You stepped out of a dream
You are too wonderful to be what you seem!
Could there be eyes like yours,
Could there be lips like yours
Could there be smiles like yours,
Honest and truly?
You stepped out of a cloud
I want to take you away, away from the crowd
And have you all to myself,
Alone and apart out of a dream,
Safe in my heart
New York on Sunday,
Big City taking a nap!
Slow down, it's Sunday!
Life's a ball, let it fall in your lap!
If you've got troubles,
Just take them out for a walk.
They'll burst like bubbles
In the fun of a Sunday In New York!
You can spend time without spending a dime,
Watching people watch people pass!
Later you pause, and in one of those stores
There's that face next to yours in the glass!
Two hearts stop beating,
You're both too breathless to speak!
Love smiles her greeting,
Then the dream that has seen you thru the week
Comes true on Sunday In New York!
New York on Sunday,
Big City taking a nap!
Slow down, it's Sunday!
Life's a ball, let it fall in your lap!
And if you've got troubles,
Go take them out for a walk.
They'll burst like bubbles
In the fun of a Sunday In New York!
You can spend time without spending a dime
Watching people watch people pass!
Later you pause, and in one of those stores
There's that face next to yours in the glass!
Two hearts stop beating,
You're both too breathless to speak!
Love smiles her greeting,
Then the dream that has seen you thru the week
Comes true on Sunday In New York!
Comes true on Sunday In New York!
A time for summer skies
For hummingbirds and butterflies
For tender words that harmonize with love
A time for climbing hills
For leaning out of windowsills
Admiring daffodils above
A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we've been dreaming of
As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love
A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we've been dreaming of
As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love

作曲者の Geroge Kelly はこの人じゃないかと思います。

もう一人作曲者としてクレジットされている Sidney Wyche はこの人じゃないかと思います。

作詞者の Mayme Watts はスタンダード曲 "Alright, Okay, You Win" の作詞者じゃないかと思うのですが、この人の情報を調べ切れませんでした。
ということで、この曲の情報がもう一つよく判っていません ^^;
割合よく知られている曲なのですが、歌詞の和訳は見当たりませんでした。
ディーナのピアノがなかなかいいですね。
Don't be on the outside looking on the inside
If you're on in the inside looking on the outside
Things that look, invitin' seldom are exciting
Stay on your side
Don't be on the wrong side looking on the right side
If you're on the right side looking on the wrong side
Everything you see don't really have to be
So stay on your side
The grass looks greener when it's on the other side
Seein' ain't believin', looks are so deceivin'
Don't be taken for a ride
Don't be on the outside looking on the inside
If you're on in the inside looking on the outside
Take a fool's advice, it's worth the sacrifice
To stay on your side
The grass looks greener when it's on the other side
Seein' ain't believin', looks are so deceivin'
Don't be taken for a ride
Don't be on the outside looking on the inside
If you're on in the inside looking on the outside
Take a fool's advice, it's worth the sacrifice
To stay on your side
Take a fool's advice, it's worth the sacrifice
To stay on your side, to stay on your side
You won't forget me, though you may try
I'm part of memories, too wonderful to die
And it will happen, that now and then
You'll fall to wonderin' if we shouldn't have tried again
You won't forget me, on nights like this
The moon will cast on you the shadow of my kiss
No matter where you are with whom you are
You'll think of me, you won't forget me
Just wait and see, you won't forget me
Just wait and see, you won't forget me
Just wait and see
Wild is love!
Wild is love!
Wild-wild-wild
Is love!
As a rule, man's a fool.
When it's hot, he wants it cool.
When it's cool, he wants it hot.
Always wanting
What is not.
Wild is love
Whenever two hearts meet,
Wild is love,
Bitter, but oh so sweet.
And I know
I must go
Wherever love takes me,
Whatever love makes me,
I will be!
Like a fire
Burning beyond control,
Wild is love
Deep in my heart and soul
And though wild as the wind
And wild as the rolling sea,
Nothing could ever be
As wild as love.
And I know
I must go
Wherever love takes me,
Whatever love makes me,
I will be!
And though wild is the wind
And wild is the rolling sea,
Nothing could ever be
As wild as love...
As wild as love...
As wild as love...
As wild is love!

この曲はシャーリー・ホーンを象徴する曲になっています。
マーク・マーフィーの歌唱も心に染み入ります。
No complaints
And no regrets
I still believe in chasing dreams
And placing bets
But I have learned
That all you give
Is all you get
So give it all you've got
I had my share
I drank my fill
And even though I'm satisfied
I'm hungry still
To see what's down another road
Beyond the hill
And do it all again
So here's to life
And every joy it brings
So here's to life
To dreamers and their dreams
Funny how the time just flies
How love can go
From warm hellos
To sad goodbyes
And leave you with the memories
You've memorized
To keep your winters warm
For there's no yes in yesterday
And who knows what tomorrow brings
Or takes away
As long as I'm still in the game
I want to play
For laughs
For life
For love
So here's to life
And every joy it brings
Here's to life
For dreamers and their dreams
May all your storms be weathered
And all that's good get better
Here's to life
Here's to love
Here's to you
May all your storms be weathered
And all that's good get better
Here's to life
Here's to love
Here's to you
