Sheila Jordan

DIGIPACK EDITION

Sheila Jordan is a living jazz legend. Since coming to New York City in 1950 at the encouragement of Charlie Parker, she is one of, if not the last, living link to a time and a place in the jazz world that is the subject of hagiography, myth and occasionally reality. With a voice that is uniquely her own, it is possible that in the course of a single song interpretation, Jordan's voice can sound morose and honeyed, supple and compelling, along with her usual spontaneity. Over the course of her long career, there is very little she has not seen, and probably more than she cares to remember.

The session Live At Mezzrow was recorded on October 25, 2021 at the New York jazz club, with Jordan accompanied by the always imaginative pianist Alan Broadbent and her bassist of choice, Harvie S. The live session covers standards from the Great American Songbook as well as a couple of bop oriented songs. Additionally the duo of Broadbent and Harvie S are given space to do their thing on Cole Porter's " What Is This Thing Called Love " and Miles Davis's "Blue In Green."
