 Sheila Jordan © Andrea Canter Called "One of the most consistently creative of all Jazz singers" by Scott Yanow, Sheila Jordan is not only one of the premier singers in jazz, but she is known for her stimulating vocal workshops as well. A superb scat singer, she can just as easily reach the emotional depths of a ballad. Whether singing well-known standards or original material, she makes it all sound like no one else. Sheila was the first female vocalist to record for BlueNiote Records in 1963, and she was awarded an NEA Jazz Master fellowship in January. Sheila Jordan will appear at the Green Mill in Chicago on Friday, August 24th and Saturday, August 25th.
