Sheila Jordan - I'm The Girl (2022) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Dawson began singing as a child and performed at various Detroit clubs. She was later a member of the vocal trio Skeeter, Mitch and Jean. In the early 1950s, she moved to New York City. There she married Duke Jordan, the pianist of Charlie Parker's band, and studied with Charles Mingus and Lennie Tristano.

In the early 1960s, she made her first recordings, including The Outer View by George Russell with a famous version of the title You Are My Sunshine, as well as her blue Note album Portrait of Sheila with Barry Galbraith, Steve Swallow and Denzil Best, on which she interprets a standards program from titles such as I'm a Fool to Want You, Let's Face the Music and Dance or Bobby Timmons’ Dat Dere.

Later, she performed frequently in churches with liturgical jazz chants, was heard in trombonist Roswell Rudd's groups and – partly in a duo with Jeanne Lee – participated in Carla Bley's Escalator over the Hill. In the mid-1970s, she regularly worked with Roswell Rudd. in 1977, she recorded an album with Arild Andersen; in 1982, in collaboration with bassist Harvie Swartz, she created the duo album Old Time Feeling. At the end of the 1970s, she was accompanied by the trio of pianist Steve Kuhn, with whom she recorded several albums. George Gruntz regularly brought her to Europe as a singer for many of his projects; Egil Kapstad also preferred her as a singer. in 1998, she recorded the album Jazz Child, dedicated to the memory of Charlie Parker and Miles Davis, with the Steve Kuhn Trio (with Kuhn, David Finck and Billy Drummond, also with the participation of Theo Bleckmann). On the debut album of Cameron Brown Here and How, released in 2003, it becomes clear that her vocals are still characterized by an experimental nature.
