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. It was HighNote Records who broke Sheila's five-year recording hiatus with 1999's "Jazz Child". This, her third recording for HighNote since then, finds her with the Steve Kuhn Trio and Tom Harrell and affords her ample opportunity to display the quality of her musical imagination, the unerring rightness of the changes she makes to melodies, and the control she has of her tone with its beautifully judged vibrato which makes her a member of the Royal Family of Jazz Vocalists.

with Steve Kuhn, Dave Finck, Billy Drummond and Tom Harrell
