Sheila Jordan: Lucky to Be Me
In questo concerto italiano, accompagnata da eccellenti partner, la Jordan si conferma inossidabile animale da palcoscenico, capace di coinvolgere il pubblico con calore, brio ed eleganza.
La sua classe d'interprete resta alta grazie alla proverbiale inventiva. Sheila trasforma tempi e melodie, gioca con le parole alterando i testi o dialoga col contrabbasso di Attilio Zanchi . Suo terreno preferito restano il grande songbook americano e i classici del bop come testimoniano la ricercata versione di Autumn in New York, la vivace Oh, Lady Be Good o gli omaggi a Charlie Parker con The Bird o Confirmation, eseguita con una brillante sequenza in scat. Altri momenti intensi arrivano a fine concerto con l'interpretazione di Workshop Blues in dialogo col pubblico e col suo The Crossing.
