Don't get around much anymore - Jack Sheldon 1984

Don't get around much anymore Sheldon Jack 1984
At a live 1984 performance in Lulu White's Mahogany Hall on Bourbon Street, Jack Sheldon and his all-star ensemble perform a program of straight-ahead jazz pieces that finds them sizzling as if there's no tomorrow.
As the camera focuses on the quintet with close-ups and overhead shots, you can enjoy the convivial atmosphere. The room itself is large enough to accommodate a swinging band such as Sheldon's. It's colorful, and the audience is having a great time.
Jack opens the tune "Don't get around much anymore" with a vocal followed by some magic swinging solo work
Jack Sheldon: trumpet, vocal; Dave Frishberg: piano; John Pisano: guitar; Dave Stone: bass; Frank Capp: drums.
The DVD Jack Sheldon in New Orleans is available from Amazon.com

@caponsacchi  eWww Pompous ass. It's still rock 'n roll to me. to borrow from another great one.

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.

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