Beech's work as an artist examines how an urban environment comes together

their own turf. Vancouver Central Library, (604) 331-3603.

Wider Recognition Critic's Poll 9 times! Born as Sheila Jeanette Dawson
in 1928 & raised in poverty in coal mining country Pennsylvania, Sheila
began working semi-professionally in Detroit clubs in her early teens.
Influenced early by Charlie Parker & by instrumentalists rather than
singers, & working chiefly with black musicians, Sheila met with disapproval
from the white community. Her early vocal trio sang versions of Parker's
solos akin to the works by the later Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. After
moving to New York in the early 50's, she married Parker's pianist Duke
Jordan & studied with Lennie Tristano after Charles Mingus introduced
them. Her distinguished career has now spanned over 5 decades. Centennial
