I love this photo of #SheilaJordan — it perfectly captures her sparkling personality, her contagious energy, the bright light coming out of her. Her love for #jazz as an art form and a life force was so powerful, you would leave her gigs persuaded that nothing else matters. Thank you for the music.

When my mini-me was about 9 months old, we came across this wonderful video of a #SheilaJordan performance of Dat Dere. My little one was captivated by her performance - hell, we all were. Thank you, Sheila, for being the earliest influence on Magda's path to jazz. May your memory be a blessing. 💜

Sheila Jordan wasn’t just a jazz legend—she was a force of nature. Fierce, funny, and full of heart, she taught me lessons about music, resilience, and life itself. I wrote about what it was like to know her, and the wisdom she left behind.
