SHEILA JORDAN "SHEILA'S BLUES"

Don Was Detroit All-Star Revue
"Sheila's Blues" - Sheila Jordan
Detroit native Sheila Jordan is one of the most widely acclaimed jazz vocalists in the world. She performed with Charlie Parker and drew national attention with her recording of "You Are My Sunshine" on George Russell's classic album, The Outer View. In 1962, she became the first vocalist signed to Blue Note Records. At the Concert of Colors, she performed "Sheila's Blues" - a song that recounts an early encounter with Charlie Parker in the Motor City.

How can 2 people give a thumbs down to NEA Jazz Master Sheila Jordan telling her story in song? They need to listen to more of this amazing Jazz artist

[@Frosokrigare]

Simply Great!

I bow down. Too bad that in the United States we don't have a designation of excellence, so the masses would know something special is afoot with this one. Y'know, as in "Dame" Sheila Jordan.

I was lucky to see Sheila in Belfast a long time ago. I thought she was amazing as I had never heard of her before. I'm disappointed in myself that I don't have any of her records. After her performance I gave her a kiss on the cheek and thanked her for coming to Belfast. I must put this right, better late than never.

Love her, love the band, love the B&W.

[@HCTFGWC]

This woman's music brought me to tears then, and still does today.
So beautiful.

Simply Marvelous!!!

[@BalanceecnalaB]

She was amazing at the Green Mill in Chicago. I felt very lucky. Hope she comes back. She kept saying her age at the show and that it might be her last… 93 now.

[@robertosozio3425]

My good fantastic great voice ,,,,inique,,

[@whotoinfinity]

Tear'd me up live, and again just now... I dig it.

[@markbridwell8972]

What a great testimonial blues _ _ _ reminds me of Terry Thornton's "Knee Deep In The Blues" _ _ _ check it out .

[@mike67006700]

Priceless..............

[@gksts730]

It is an improvisational depiction, but there is moderate tension. To impress the listener. I am thoroughly examining how to enjoy jazz and feel a completely different coloration. I enjoyed actively when I heard the performance contents. Have the best time.

[@Cristian1929]

I love a lot this blues

[@markbridwell8972]
