The Main Ingredient (Shirley Horn album)


The Main Ingredient is a 1995 album by Shirley Horn.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said: "This Shirley Horn CD is a little unusual, as it was recorded at her home. The four sessions utilized some of her favorite musicians... As usual, virtually all of the songs are taken at slow tempos, with 'All or Nothing at All' given a definitive treatment". The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented that the guest musicians added variety, but that the best track was the trio rendition of "The Look of Love".
