Internationally acclaimed New Orleans' jazz vocalist Stephanie Jordan will perform on Sunday, June 5, at the Daytona Beach Museum of Arts and Sciences for a return engagement. "We had so many requests to bring her back again that we certainly couldn't refuse, " said North East Florida Jazz Association President Muriel McCoy. "The audience absolutely loved her. We're thrilled that Stephanie was as eager to come back as we were to see and hear her performing live again."

Critics have likened Ms. Jordan to jazz stars Diana Krall and Nancy Wilson. Jordan's recent concert with the Chicago Jazz Ensemble at the Harris Theater where she was a late minute replace for four-time Grammy nominee Ledisi led Chicago Tribune's leading art critic Howard Reich to proclaim, "The woman can sing and indisputably knows how to reach out across the footlights . . . Jordan showed ample voice, bringing heft to music of the Gershwins and Cole Porter without pushing volume levels. Clearly she values plush sound and knows how to produce it."

Ms. Jordan will be performing with the Doug Carn Quartet.
The Matanzas High School Jazz Orchestra will open from 1:30 to 2:15 p.m. in the museum's Root Hall. The Stephanie Jordan concert will begin at 2:30 p.m. in the museum's auditorium. The Museum of Arts and Sciences is at 352 S. Nova Road, Daytona Beach.
