Embers and Ashes is the debut studio album by jazz vocalist and pianist Shirley Horn, released in 1960 by Stere-O-Craft Records.[4]
In the same year, the album fell into the hands of trumpeter Miles Davis, who invited Horn to perform with him at the Village Vanguard jazz club,[5] setting the club's management a condition: either he would perform with Horn, or he would not at all.[6] After the performance, Horn was noticed and offered to sign a contract by representatives of Mercury Records.[7]
