Description

One of only two vocal jazz records Blue Note cut during Alfred Lions tenure for the label and Jordons last album under her own name before a dozen year hiatus, the moving Portrait Of Sheila finds the young singer in fine form supported by a sympathetic trio of Barry Galbraith (guitar), Steve Swallow (bass) and Denzil Best (drums). Includes compellingly distinct takes on Oscar Brown Jr.s Hum Drum Blues and further standards from the likes of Rodgers & Hart, Johnny Mercer and Irving Berlin.

Musicians:
Sheila Jordon (vocals)
Barry Galbraith (guitar)
Steve Swallow (bass)
Denzil Best (drums)
