You're My Thrill (Shirley Horn Album)
''You're My Thrill'' is a 2001 studio album by Shirley Horn, arranged by Johnny Mandel. Reception The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell stated: "Mandel's orchestrations are paragons of subtlety, sometimes creeping almost imperceptibly like a slow moving fog upon Horn's trio. Like his singer, Mandel respects the value of silence and space; they're a well matched pair, their different ideas of timing dovetail together neatly. Though some of us would have wanted Horn and her jazzmen to stretch out more on the small group tracks, they do serve effectively as breathers, or intermezzos, in between the languorous collaborations with Mandel". Track listing # " You're My Thrill" ( Jay Gorney, Sidney Clare) – 4:45 # " The Best Is Yet to Come" (Cy Coleman, Carolyn Leigh) – 2:37 # "Solitary Moon" ( Marilyn Bergman, Alan Bergman, Johnny Mandel) – 5:06 # "Sharing the Night with the Blues" (Emmanuel Logan) – 3:00 # " I Got Lost in His Arms" ( Irving Berlin) – 4:52 # "The Rules ...
