Clint falls into the same trap. "He's such a character--AND plays great trumpet. The man was the quintessential trumpet artist, bar none, but after the 50s he made peace with public demand and enjoyed life. The Counce Group was better than the Miles-Trane-Evans Quintet.. Land was the equal of his partner, Clifford. Butler was unreal on drums. Perkins the most amazing story of any jazz pianist, combining Errol and Clifford with a crippled left hand. And Jack was vital to the whole organism.

I saw Jack Sheldon jamming on a Tuesday evening at his jazz club, Jax, in Glendale CA several years ago. That was a really cool night of jazz.
