    About this Artist

    Editorial Reviews

    There is a lot of music on this 1998 CD, which has trumpeter Jack Sheldon's first two LPs as a leader plus three selections originally put out on various samplers. Although not as distinctive a soloist as he would become, at this early stage Sheldon was already a technically skilled and creative bop soloist. Sheldon is well featured on three songs in a quintet with altoist Joe Maini, on eight numbers with a quartet that co-stars pianist Walter Norris, and on the remaining eight tunes in a quintet with tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims and pianist Norris. The music is purely straight-ahead and fairly spontaneous yet generally concise, and serves as an excellent example of both early Jack Sheldon and mid-'50s L.A. bop.
