Don't get around much anymore - Jack Sheldon 1984

Throw this away. It's so far beneath Jack's talents--not just as the trumpet artist extraordinaire but vocally--that it's unbearable. The man stood alongside and played alongside with 4 of the best of all time-- and up to their level--get the Complete Curtis Counce Sessions. Here, Jack sounds like an ordinary flashy brassy virtuosic trumpet player like hundreds of other guys, not the artist who was of a mind with Land, Butler, Perkins and Counce--and better than Chet or Miles.

Just great. May I ask where this came from?  Is there more?

Rumors about Jack's demise are greatly exaggerated. HE IS ALIVE! Jazz Times has posted a retraction.

Rest in Peace, Jack. You will be truly missed.

Jack Sheldon, sweetest voice in jazz - just saw him last night - almost 80 and still banging it out. Love him.
