A Portrait Of Sheila

Why we picked it

An Edmonton Jazz Collective celebrates the career of late pioneering vocalist and NEA Jazz Master Sheila Jordan. Sheila had ties to many artists in Canada and around the world. A select few, led by close friend and vocalist Elsie Osbourne, have been brought together to share music and stories from Sheilas nearly 80-year career. The matinee event will include special appearances by jazz vocalist and CKUA Radio host Diane Donovan, Edmonton-based songstress Shelley Jones, and radio host, Blues Festival Producer, and jazz singer Cindy McLeod.What to expectDoors at 6:00 pm | Intermission | First come first serve general admission seating | Soft-seat table seating | Accessible seating available | Bar service | Paid parking is available on site-Visit edmontonjazz.com for more about the 2026 Edmonton International Jazz Festival.
