Sheila Jordan Portrait of Sheila Limited Blue Note Vinyl LP

Overview:
The 1962 album Portrait of Sheila was both the debut recording from singer Sheila Jordan and one of the few vocal albums that Alfred Lion recorded during Blue Note’s classic era. Jordan wraps her voice around a set of standards backed by guitarist Barry Galbraith, bassist Steve Swallow, and drummer Denzil Best. A vocalese version of Bobby Timmons’ “Dat Dere” delivered as a voice-bass duet is a highlight of the session.
