R.I.P. Jack Sheldon

[Monsters For Sale]

                                                                      Jack Sheldon - 1931-2019

Jack Died on December 27, 2019.

He was an off-beat west coast jazz eter from the Chet Baker generation.  A favorite of mine, he was funny and played a mean horn.  He would play anywhere, just for the fun of it.  An unpredictable character, he was known to keep an auditorium of paying customers waiting while he played to the passing people in the street outside for free.

I feel funny hitting the Like button, but thanks for posting this. I grew up on Schoolhouse Rock. Loved his stuff.

It's just liking the man and his life - and maybe the fact that fellow fans realize his contribution to us all while he was here.
