A great musician. A great entertainer... singer... What my wife and I usually describe as a person who personifies "professional show business" in the best sense of that word. And an great jazz artist. R.I.P. Jack.
The best version of this by far. Just turning and bending and twisting the notes wherever he wanted. Smooth and with power at the same time. You'll be missed sir. Have fun with Merv
One of the most ironic things about Jack Sheldon is the title of the documentary about his life and career, "Trying To Get Good: The Jazz Odyssey Of Jack Sheldon." He should have already gotten a Kennedy Center Honor. He carried the torch of this type of jazz music, swing, bop, and Armstrong-esque entertaining through the years for us Baby Boomers. Does he still play live? I would fly to California to see him. This is an epic performance!
He still plays ..Jack is Back!!! Join Jack Sheldon and his Big Band to celebrate his birthday at Catalina's in Hollywood on November 23 & 24. Get your tickets now www.catalinajazzclub.com
@@jamesbarnes5808 I sadly know. Thank God for recordings and videos. My loss not seeing him. God rest his soul... and let him play and sing on, and on, and on..... you get my drift......................................
I just found him. My first thought was, I hope he's still playing and where can I go to see him. I quickly found out he passed away. Sad, but wow what a talent. What a life.
Jack is well known enough but he should be a revered national treasure. He plays in the Clifford Brown/Dizzy Gillespie stratosphere, a fantastic vocalist and incomparable entertainer
Uh the vinyl of this? This is my personal live on the fly 12 input 2 track no multi track recording I did while cutting my teeth on being an audio mixer. If there is a vinyl, the the college produced it. Unlikely. Take a pick of the product and send it to me. :). I'm intrigued. jamescurtisbarnes@gmail.com

I believe Jack Sheldon is the guy everyone wanted as their best friend, RIP love Jack Sheldon.
RIP Jack Sheldon - true greatness.
Wow...never heard this before...love this horn...I'm a real fan of Bunny Berigan's tune and this is fantastic...
I miss Jack so much. His style, his interpretations, his superior one-of-a-kind trumpet styles!

Rest In Peace, Jack - Your melodies will linger on forever.
This rocked me. Jack Sheldon is the man. I saw him at a lunchtime concert in downtown LA in 1992. It changed my life and I became a jazz musician.
One of my favorite songs of all time. And what a beautiful rendition. Love his voice too. And jeeze he was so funny!!!! I wish I could have known him.
Cool version. Love jack. He used to come to Sausalito ca with Monty Budwig in the fifties. I was a teenager trumpet player. He was a gas.
What a great sound.
Thank you, but it was a great band! That makes my job very easy. :)

I used to rush home from school to watch him on Merv Griffin. That was 55-60 years ago...damn
My grandmother used to take care of us and make us watch Merv Griffin or go to bed. Caught this guy many times and never knew his name until RUclips.
What a magnificent performance! Thanks for posting.
A wonderful musician, communicator and presence too. Love that guy!
May he RIP

He got his start in Merv Griffin's band and just stepped out one night to do a verbal riff with Merv. It was just dynamite.
SUPER!!!
RIP to a legend
He guested on Dragnet several times...He had the hip looser thing down pat RIP
Amazingly beautifull
Have a heart that is ready to be ripped out ? stand by !

Met Jack many tears ago when he was in Toronto. Saw him years later and was introduced by my friend Page Cavanaugh in L.V.
Did so love his playing.
Da BEST!!!
Damn he is good. I have the vinyl but not a turntable! (Temporarily.) Funny, yes. A great musician, most certainly.
