Blue Note, 1962
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 & Harts Falling In Love With Love and Irving Berlins Lets Face The Music And Dance; expressive ballad singing on Frank Sinatras Im A Fool To Want You and Tadd Damerons If You Could See Me Now; and a tour-de-force voice-bass duo version of Bobby Timmons soulful hard bop classic Dat Dere.
