paul secor Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Looking at her schedule, she's a wonder. A lot of people couldn't do that at 50, let alone 90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 I saw her perform a couple of years ago. She was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 A favorite track: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duaneiac Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Nice selection, mjzee. That whole album is really good. To demonstrate how versatile Ms. Jordan can be/is, listen to her in this very different setting/mood from the video above. It's one of my favorite performances by Ms. Jordan and probably my favorite interpretation of this song, "The Water Is Wide". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffpeterson Posted November 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Sheila has a home in the mid Hudson valley area. Plays 2-3 times a year in that area in small clubs like the Rosendale. I typically can catch her once a year-always a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 I'm seeing her at SFJAZZ in January with Cameron Brown. Never seen her and really looking forward to it. It's a very small venue, too - holds about 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
