Ella Productions is proud to present BELIEVE IN JAZZ, the first recording with Sheila Jordan and Serge Forté Trio. On November 8th 2003, during the 75th birthday Tour, this concert was recorded by Hubert Sewer, in charge of booking at “La Ferme Asile”, nice and warmly venue situated in Sion, Switzerland.
Sheila Jordan is “one of the jazz world’s best- kept secrets- a wonderfully flexible and imaginative improviser” (Alan Ross/Blue Note).
She recorded her very first album, for Blue Note, in 1962, and was in January 2004 the recipient of the highest distinction for JazzWomen through Lil Hardin Armstrong Jazz Heritage Award ( IAJE Women’s Caucus annually honours a pioneering female jazz musician deserving of wider recognition for her artistic excellence and outstanding contributions to jazz and to the history of women in jazz).
“Sheila portrays "song" in every possible way, with the slightest bend of a note, of a word, with a pause, a look, becoming immediately the song we needed to hear, the perfect reason for our hearts to beat. “ (David Linx)
Sheila Jordan deserves to be recognise in Europe as she is everywhere else, as one of the most interesting artists, able to sing like she was a saxophonist, taking risks, scatting, and “keeping the Music alive” all around the World , to still make us all “Believe in Jazz”. --- ellaprod.com
