Jack played “ Bourbon Street” in Toronto, 1975 or so when I was a teen. He graciously allowed me to bore him at the bar between sets . Since that time, having played with alumni from many of his historical record, few were as charming and forthright, humble and fine a musician as he. Great interview!

By accident (and Google) I just discovered that Jack Sheldon died last December (six days after my own father). It didn't surprise me because I heard about his major stroke about ten years ago. In 1988 I heard one of his sets at the Smokehouse in Burbank, California, and asked him outside the front door "Jack, I think you're one of the most recorded jazz trumpeters in the history of recording in Hollywood. Do you remember everything you've recorded?" His answer was something like "Heck no, after I got paid I didn't keep records of anything." My favorite, a talisman, are Jack's cuts on the 1982 soundtrack of the Francis Ford Coppola movie "One From The Heart." I can identify Jack's sound immediately, and think it's one of the best in music history. The documentary of his life, "Trying To Get Good" is also supurb. His passing didn't make the L.A. Times obits, probably because he was a cat from the past who mastered the tiny sliver of music called jazz, but Jack Sheldon was a giant who left footprints in the sand.

Jack was a guru of Jazz...Very grounded. He was a down to earth but inspired. He was very magnetic, yet humble, and alway the brightest light in any room. I am so grateful to see this amazing conversation of Jazz History caught on tape. This brings back memories of the iconic "Dantes Jazz Club" in North Hollywood in the '70s. It was a thrill to perform my" Derailed song" with Jack at Danted. The horn section was blowing the roof off. Dave Frishberg also did a great version of that song. . .Blessings on Jack's new band in the Sky. XO

On 1999-08-06, Jack Sheldon and his band appeared on the Phil Hendrie Show at KFI in Los Angeles to "play the hits drunk" on the radio. I have a copy of the mp3 but it's not the greatest quality. It's pretty funny to listen to though. Jack was cracking jokes through the whole show. During a break between songs, Jack said, "Sex and drugs killed my father. He couldn't get either of them so he shot himself." Maybe I'll put it up here on youtube.

Uan Rasey - there’s another legendary trumpet player mostly know as a studio guy. And a teacher of Jack as well as Arturo Sandoval - just imagine that! Those guys still took lessons? And then Harry James calls for a lesson? Always room for improvement at any level. Uan is probably best known for the solo trumpet on Chinatown (Jerry Goldsmith) but also did An American in Paris, Singin’ in the Rain, Ben Hur, Spartacus, West Side Story, and on and on. He took his trumpet up into the clouds in 2011 at the age of 90.

Jack was a member of the original Curtis Counce Quintet, which was the W. Coast's answer to the world-renowned Miles Davis' Quintet with Coltrane, Garland, Chambers, and Philly Joe. Listening to those albums (on Contemporary) I feel I'm hearing America's indigenous art form at its quintessential, representative best--music fit for the time capsule. Leader Counce was one of the W. Coast's most in-demand bass players; tenor man Harold Land had just abandoned his place in the Clifford-Max Quintet to Rollins and was named the best modern instrumentalist in jazz by Carmel Jones and Victor Feldman; piano man Carl Perkins was the heart and soul of the group, his death leading Counce to break up the quintet--a pianist who combined the modernism of Bud with the orchestral voicing of Errol; Frank Butler was an amazing drummer, who lost out (barely) to Tony Williams in making the chair for Miles' 2nd Great Quintet--listen to Butler's solo, last track Side 1 of the eponymously-titled album by Counce. Beginning with "Landslide" that first album represents the best of modern jazz, thanks in part to the microphones and mixing of Roy DuNann (a truer, more natural sound than RVG and the Rudy Van Gelder piano, at Blue Note). As for Jack, the worst influence on him was Harry James, who played with that big, shattering sound he had used in circus bands. Jack's original, immediately identifiable voice can be heard in the Counce albums.

RIght around 35:33, when Jack mentions having Count Basie over to his house, he said they listened to Lucho Gatica. I quote from the web... Lucho Gatica, the Chilean singer whose lush, brooding croon earned him renown throughout the Spanish-speaking world as “the king of bolero,” died on Nov. 13. 2018 He was 90. His wife, Leslie Gatica, confirmed the death, in Mexico City, where Mr. Gatica had lived for more than half a century.
