About
At 96 years of age, jazz legend Sheila Jordan is set to literally outdo herself. Dot Time Records will release Portrait Now, a title inspired by Portrait of Sheila, Jordan’s first album for Blue Note Records, released in 1962.
The result is an album that revisits some of the songs from the 1962 recording, but also sports some new renditions, including a gorgeous version of the Chet Baker classic, “The Touch Of Your Lips." An incredibly prolific artist, Portrait Now is Jordan’s 22nd album as a leader in over 50 years and on several labels, not to mention several intermittent releases on which she was the featured vocalist.
