The seats---and, in this case, the songs---were assigned, but the host didn't try and force conversation, and the whole affair was better for it.
The purpose of the November 21 show, the first in a year-long residency, was for the successful composer and musical director to showcase his recent work, and, for new material, Horne's songs were quite polished.
