Little song U-s-di da-ga-no-ge-da (2003)

"Sheila Jordan could have given all her albums that title - little singing is exactly what she does, and it is elusive and intriguing. The 75 year-old Detroit-born singer's languorous scat-singing, immaculate timing, care with words and ironic intelligence suggests an infectiously optimistic artist with an enduring relish for her work. This album is largely composed of Broadway standards, but is bookended by a splice of Jordan's own whoopy, native American-derived Little Song and Lennon and McCartney's Blackbird, and includes one piece by her immensely skilful pianist, Steve Kuhn. The sepia-toned flugelhornist Tom Harrell complements the atmosphere of fragile daydreaming". (John Fordam, The Guardian).
