Search - Nina Sheldon :: Harvest

Jazz vocalist and pianist Nina Sheldon is joined by members of her trio and special guest, the late David "Fathead" Newman, for an album of standards. This was one of his last studio sessions. Sheldon's vocalism reflects conspicuous virtues: a sophisticated sense of rhythm and harmonic sensibility; a warm, natural voice within its range; flawless intonation; an exceptional versatility--from gentle ballads to animated up-tempos and scatting--and an incisive sense of time with implacable tone control. "She plays like a demon and sings like a living doll." -- The New Yorker
