Raised in poverty in Pennsylvania's coal-mining country, Shelia Jordan began singing as a child and by the time she was in her early teens, was working semi-professionally in Detroit clubs. Her first great influence was Charlie Parker and indeed, most of her influences have been instrumentalists, rather than singers. Birdland, Wednesday, April 17th through Saturday, April 20th, shows nightly at 7:00pm
