Joan Shaw | Sings For Swingers [Vinyl] LP

Although highly talented, Joan Shaw (born in 1930) never really got her due in the early days of her career. She reinvented herself and in 1965, under the name of Salena Jones, moved to Europe where she enjoyed a long and successful career both touring and recording.

She became a household name in the U.K. and also highly popular in Japan. On Sings for Swingers, Shaw is backed by an 11-piece group including great swing players Ernie Royal, Seldon Powell, Bucky Pizzarelli, and Milt Hinton.
