Sheila
Jordan
performs
as part of the
TD
Jazz Series
at
Bethany
Baptist Church
Saturday,
February 1, 6:00pm
The Bethany Baptist Church of Newark celebrates 25 years
of monthly Jazz Vespers! Join us at Bethany Baptist for this
FREE concert combining jazz music and worship.
February’s
featured artist is Sheila Jordan. At age 93, the jazz vocalist is
renowned as a pioneer of bebop and scat singing. “Whether singing
well-known standards or original material, she makes it all sound like
no one else,” The National Endowment for the Arts says about the Jazz
Master.
Double
bassist Harvie S will join her with his “tasty, melodic
playing” (Arts Fuse), alongside “limber and inventive
guitarist” (The Village Voice) Roni
Ben-Hur and drummer Billy Drummond, who “command[s] the
attention of a room without saying a word” (JazzTimes).
