This Fall brings two remarkable events to Sheila Jordan: the veteran jazz singer is not only turning 80, but she is launching a a brand new recording affiliation with the distinguished Montreal-based label Justin Time Records (now in its 25th year). Along with Abbey Lincoln, Carol Sloane and not many others, Jordan is among the last great living jazz singers, extending the legacy of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Jordan's own contemporary, Betty Carter.
Winter Sunshine, her first release for Justin Time, marks Sheila's lucky 21st album under her own name (in addition to dozens of guest appearances on albums by well-known jazz instrumentalists). Considering that Jordan has been a professional jazz singer for over 60 years, this is not an enormous catalog. Rather, the comparatively small number of recordings she has made testifies to the fact that over the course of her long career, Sheila Jordan never makes records gratuitously. She never does an album just for the sake of making an album, but rather, only goes into the studio (or brings recording equipment into a club), when she has something to say. Winter Sunshine is an example of the latter, taped live in Montreal on Valentine's Week 2008, in front of an enthusiastic audience of Quebecois.
