An Evening With Lena Horne (2005)

Concert uit 1994 van de toen 77-jarige zangeres, die in mei 2010 overleden is. "The sentiment that comes embedded in Lena Horne's classy 1994 concert performance at the Supper Club in New York, is enough to carry the show all by itself. Her magnetic personality gives the performance a full charge of passion that's complemented by her convincing vocal expressions. She's a born communicator. Most of the program is performed with her regular backing quintet; five numbers are performed with The Count Basie Orchestra. Both a Duke Ellington medley and her Cole Porter medley stand out for their comfortable texture and caring attitude. The Count Basie Orchestra performs "April in Paris" and "Jumpin' at the Woodside" as instrumental arrangements with all the usual trimmings. They were in fine form for this event, and both arrangements offer superb ensemble counterpoint as well as thrilling solo opportunities."
