Sheila Jordan tells her life through a long and exclusive interview: ...I often saw cats like Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell...I was beat up because people did not want to see young white girls or young white people with black people, these were my friends! These were the only people that I could go to, that understood what I was trying to do, what I was looking for. It was that music, and it happened to be black music. It was bebop..."
