          Review :

          “Sheila Jordan's debut recording was one of the very few vocal records made for Blue Note during Alfred Lion's reign. Accompanied by the subtle guitarist Barry Galbraith, bassist Steve Swallow, and drummer Denzil Best, Jordan sounds quite distinctive, cool-toned, and adventurous during her classic date. Her interpretations of Oscar Brown, Jr.'s "Hum Drum Blues" and 11 standards (including "Falling in Love With Love," "Dat Dere," "Baltimore Oriole," and "I'm a Fool to Want You") are both swinging and haunting. Possibly because of her originality, Sheila Jordan would not record again for over a dozen years, making this highly recommended set quite historic.” AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow

           

          Detroit-born singer Sheila Jordan moved to New York City in 1951 and became a fixture on the jazz scene, befriending Charlie Parker and studying with the likes of Charles Mingus and Lennie Tristano. Jordan presented her inimitable vocal stylings on her 1962 debut, Portrait of Sheila, one of only two vocal albums recorded for Blue Note during that era. Accompanied by a trio with Barry Galbraith on guitar, Steve Swallow on bass, and Denzil Best on drums, Jordan delivered delightful versions of songbook and jazz standards including swinging takes on Rodgers & Hart's "Falling in Love with Love" and Irving Berlin's "Let's Face the Music and Dance"; expressive ballad singing on Frank Sinatra's "I'm a Fool to Want You" and Tadd Dameron's "If You Could See Me Now"; and a tour-de-force voice-bass duo version of Bobby Timmons' soulful hard bop classic "Dat Dere."

          The Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series was born out of Blue Note President Don Was' admiration for the exceptional audiophile Blue Note LP reissues presented by Music Matters. Was brought Joe Harley, a.k.a. the "Tone Poet," on board to curate and supervise a series of reissues from the Blue Note family of labels.
