Sheila Jordan - Portrait Of Sheila (Tone Poet Series)
Since the founding of Blue Note in 1939, Alfred Lion had made it a policy not to release albums by female jazz singers on his label.
He made an exception to this rule in 1962 when he produced "Portrait of Sheila", the debut album by Detroit-born singer Sheila Jordan.
On it, Jordan, who died on August 11, 2025 at the age of 96, interpreted a dozen jazz standards in her inimitable style, accompanied only by a guitar-bass-drums trio, including a brilliant duo version of Bobby Timmons' hard bop classic "Dat Dere" with the young Steve Swallow on double bass.
Blue Note Tone Poet Edition: Stereo, produced by Joe Harley, completely analog remastered by Kevin Gray from the original tapes, RTI pressing (180g), sturdy tip-on single sleeve, padded inner sleeve.
