In addition to traditional jazz standards, the Stephanie Jordan Jazz Ensemble will perform some tunes from her recently released CD on her Vige Music label, "Stephanie Jordan Sings a Tribute to the Fabulous Lena Horne; Yesterday When I Was Young" which honors the legendary Grammy Award winner who starred in many films and whose one-woman show, Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music (1981), was hailed as her masterpiece.

Located at 626 Frenchmen Street in the French Quarters, Snug Harbor has provided the best in live jazz and great regional cooking for over 30 years. The limited cabaret type seating guarantees an intimate musical experience. For this performance, Jordan will be joined by Arranger and Emmy Award-winner Mike Esneault on piano; Alex Hall - Drums; Jason Weaver - Bass; and Isrea Butler - Trombone. Admission is $25; seats may be reserved by calling Snug Harbor at 504-949-0696.

While Jordan has performed on stages such as the Kennedy Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the NBA All-Star Game, Chicago's Harris Theater, the Marians Jazzroom in Bern, Switzerland and even 'Oprah Winfrey and Friends of Susan Taylor', Jordan says "there truly is no place like home."

Noted jazz critic Ted Panken writes, "Great lyrics permeate this beautifully rendered homage, and Jordan has the skill sets to do them justice-a voice that projects from a whisper to a scream, impeccable diction, dead-center pitch, fluid phrasing . . . she finds fresh, unfailingly swinging approaches to this well-traveled repertoire, melding into a personal argot elements garnered from such distinguished mentors as Shirley Horn, Abbey Lincoln, Nancy Wilson-and Lena Horne herself-while sounding like no one other than Stephanie Jordan. As she aptly puts it, "it's a tribute, not a copy."
