2012 NEA Jazz Master Sheila Jordan's performances are always intriguing blends of imaginative music making and deeply felt, richly emotional story telling. More than many performing artists, she lays her life on the line with everything she sings. And more than any other jazz vocalist she reflects the power of the instrumentalists who shaped her musical life. She alone, it seems, can combine Rollins' drive and Parker's soaring invention with Ella's spunk and Billie's passion. Sheila has always enjoyed performing a duet with an acoustic bass and this recording with Harvie S shows off her immaculate phrasing and dead-on pitch on a dozen standards, all of which sound fresh and exciting. The more you hear by these two consummate artists, the more you will want to hear.
