iJazz : Shirley Horn in Concert

Went with J for Shirley Horn concert just now. It was her first in Asia. This is my first time watching jazz concert in Esplanade. J told me that S'pore claims that each and every seat in the hall can enjoy the same acoustic pleasure. First row to the last. Well..it was evidently proven when some uncouth peasant's mobile rang. It was heard so very clearly.

Anyway, her performance was great! Especially when she sang " Yesterday" unplugged version with her on the piano. Lots of us were moved to tears. She lost her right leg to diabetes and has been with a prosthetic leg. It must be really hard for a jazz singer . She was moving to the music, but her legs failed her. Still, both of it enjoyed the performance.
