cliffpeterson Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Heard her last night in Kingston celebrating her 93rd birthday. Harvie S on bass and Alan Broadbent on piano. Sheila moved without help from a device, e.g., cane, or a person. Concert was about 80 minutes. She left the stage for 10 minutes to sit on a couch while Alan and Harvie did their thing. Sheila stood while she sang and when she did not, she saw on a chair. Pretty impressive. Still had some vocal range and man she could still phrase and scat.

T.D. Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Excellent, thanks for the report. I knew of the event, but Covid infections have been going batshit in Ulster County (where I'm a resident and Kingston is located), worse than last year at this time - see https://covid19.ulstercountyny.gov/dashboard/ Even though I'm vaccinated and got a booster 6 days ago, I've been chickening out of concerts and crowded venues.

sidewinder Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Sheila Jordan is incredible. I saw her once in a Western Canadian club in the depths of a severe Winter when it was blowing a blizzard and sub -30C outside. She seemed totally unfazed and was very warm in her stage manner. That was with Harvie S. too. Long may she continue gracing our stages. Edited December 7, 2022 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 I believe she's going to be on Live From Emmet's Place in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffpeterson Posted November 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 At the concert I was told that the show was being recorded and filmed as part of a documentary on Sheila. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kh1958 Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 I saw her at the Caravan of Dreams in the 1980s, in a vocal/bass duet with Harvie S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Sheila will be performing at the Mad Monkfish in Boston on December 16th. As an added bonus, she will have Yoko Miwa's great piano trio backing her. There will be a 7:00 & 9:00 show. Try to buy tickets early and get a table near the stage. The Mad Monkfish is a restaurant as well as a jazz bar, so not everyone there is into the music - if you get my drift. I wish I could make it. I have a prior commitment.

cliffpeterson Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 Finally reading Mark Stryker's "Jazz from Detroit". He mentions there is a 25 minute video of Sheila Jordan from 1971. Cool. Found it on YouTube and for those who have not seen it: Not a bad band. Jan Garbarek, Bobo Stenson, Arild Andersen and Jon Christensen.
