Product Description
Contents: [Jazz Department Store VOCAL Edition] [First SHM-CD Release] [New Mini Commentary] [Lyrics Included (Planned)] This is the debut leader album from Sheila Jordan, a vocalist whose voice was praised by Charlie Parker. She sings distinctive standards, weaving melodic phrases improvisationally like a horn player. Her rendition of "Baltimore Oriole," where she interacts with the bass and drums, is superb. It's not just innovative, but also possesses a deep, rich character.
