AAD is a Digital Copy Of The Master Tape - SILVER CD

A direct descendant of Crazy Horse, the Indian Sioux warrior, Joan Shaw (Salena’s birth name) was born in Newport News, Virginia, and began singing in church and school before making her debut on life’s bigger stages. As a very young girl, Joan Shaw`s career began in New York at Manhattan clubs and going on to Harlem’s Apollo Theater, when she won the amateur night singing “September Song”. Joan grew up in New York in the company of musicians who would become the legends, she met all these people, jamming with some of them and began making demonstration records for artists like Peggy Lee, Brenda Lee and Lena Horne, before getting her own recording contract. Leonard Feather, the noted jazz critic for “Downbeat” magazine, named Joan Shaw as one of his choices as “most promising newcomers”, together with “Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme”. Glamorous and beautiful, with her distinctive voice and relaxed style, by then she had met and sung with a array of great jazz names. Her photo album shows her arm in arm with everyone from Betty Carter to Cab Calloway, Billy Eckstine, Vic Damone and Lena Horne. However, wanting to expand her horizons, and concerned at racism in her native country, Joan Shaw bought a one way ticket to Madrid where, having sung one song at the “Whiskey and Jazz Club”, on the same night as her arrival in Spain, she was immediately engaged to sing nightly with Dexter Gordon. But London called, and arriving in 1965, her management recommended a name-change and Salena Jones was born! She was soon booked to appear for the first time at Ronnie Scott’s for two weeks but, such was the audience reaction that she was held over for another week, and then another: eventually appearing for seven consecutive weeks – still a record after all this time for one of the most famous clubs in the world. Over the last five decades, Salena Jones has been a central figure on the British jazz scene and she opened her own jazz club in London in 2001. Salena has played everywhere – throughout Europe, South Africa, South America, to the US, Canada and especially across Asia, where she is a well-loved artiste (in December 2018, Salena’s tour of Japan celebrated the fortieth anniversary of her first appearances there in 1978). Salena’s recording career has reflected her ability to choose both varied repertoire and also to move beyond jazz boundaries. She has made forty-three solo albums and twenty-two singles since her first recording was released in 1949.
