Sheila Jordan is one of the world's leading exponents of vocal improvisation. Not content to sing the same well- planned 'improvisation' on a tune night after night, Sheila's skill at extemporizing makes each performance something new and truly exciting. Charlie Parker himself was a fan of Sheila's, admiring her unique way of reshaping lines and her soulful identification with every word. Now, after a five-year recording hiatus, Sheila is back on CD and she has selected a program of pop standards and Be-Bop classics by the likes of Don Cherry, Ernie Henry, Jimmy Webb, Rodgers & Hart and others. With sensitive backing by the Steve Kuhn Trio, Sheila shows once again why she is a member of the Royal Family of Jazz Vocalists.
