Former Merv Griffin stooge, trumpeter/singerSheldon is joined by Dave Frishberg, piano; John Pisano, guitar; Dave Stone, bass and Frankie Capp on drums. Even though Sheldon is best known for his 16 years as musical director on the Griffin show, he did play with the Stan Kenton and Benny Goodman bands in the 50’s. This new image of Sheldon shows him rollicking and swinging in the bop tradition. Short interviews between tunes reveal a most serious artist who reflects on influences like Charlie Parker, Chet Baker and Louis Armstrong.
