Portrait of Sheila

Sheila Jordan

Blue Note Tone Poet Series edition

Detroit-born singer Sheila Jordan moved to New York City in 1951 and became a fixture on the jazz scene, befriending Charlie Parker and studying with the likes of Charles Mingus and Lennie Tristano. Jordan presented her inimitable vocal stylings on her 1962 debut, Portrait of Sheila, one of only two vocal albums recorded for Blue Note during that era. Accompanied by a trio with Barry Galbraith on guitar, Steve Swallow on bass, and Denzil Best on drums, Jordan delivered delightful versions of songbook and jazz standards including swinging takes on Rodgers & Hart's "Falling in Love with Love" and Irving Berlin's "Let's Face the Music and Dance"; expressive ballad singing on Frank Sinatra's "I'm a Fool to Want You" and Tadd Dameron's "If You Could See Me Now"; and a tour-de-force voice-bass duo version of Bobby Timmons' soulful hard bop classic "Dat Dere."

Blue Note's Tone Poet Series represents the pinnacle of jazz reissues for anyone who appreciates pristine audio. Mastered by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) from the original analog master tapes. Pressed on 180g audiophile vinyl at RTI and presented in deluxe tip-on jackets.
