VERY SAD NEWS.....My Friend The Great Jazz Trumpeter Former Music Director For The "Merv Griffin Show"...…Actor & Singer, Comedian...….Jack Sheldon Passed Away on December 27 2019.....He Was 88 Years Old.....Rest In Peace Jack....November 30 1931-December 27 2019
I was sitting in the Village Vanguard listening to Thad & Mel's Band back in the 60's and noticed the lead trumpet sounded extra awesome that day. I asked the guy next to me who it was and he said Jon Faddis. Jon was 17 at the time...
Jon is a classic "Upstream" or forward jaw trumpet player. So was Jack too by the way. His range problem caused by him closing his jaw too much. And he pulls his upper lip up and away from the m/piece If Jack had just maintained his upper lip down below his upper teeth AND, Had not sneered pulling his lip upwards? He'd have played just as high as Jon.
@@jorgecallico9177 not classic, he's sidestream too, very unique due to anatomy, and if Jack's big wide head had Jon's teeth structure his face would't have gotten on TV, maybe his voice would for later gigs...Jack studdied with Uan Rasey, the player of Chinatown movie theme, and tone was the goal, not tripple Fs. Also Jack had the healthy responce to getting in a high note duel with Jon...DON'T.
Rest in peace. That was some unforgettable music. Him, Jon and Louie were trumpet gods and sang like angels. This is what I believe heaven would look like for me.
@@ericdreizen1463 That's correct. John actually lived in Bel Aire , a step up from B.H. When he lived with Joni Mitchell. I moved him out while she wa gone lol.
Dizzy Gillespie saw Jon Faddis play somewhere when Faddis was still in high school, and decided to take him under his wing as a mentor to him. I think the influence is obvious.
YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT... THAT IS HOW IT HAPPENED... DIZZY DID TAKE JOHN FADDIS UNDER HIS WING INDEED. AT LEAST ACCORDING TO EVERYTHING I HAVE READ ABOUT DIZZY AND JON FADDIS
I dunno, people saying Merv was being a dick but I'm sure he was well aware how good Jack was, he gave him a chance to shine and demonstrate hell yeah he could play fast too.
This clip not only showcased his talent, but far more importantly, his character. He did as Merv asked, but then you watch him quit the Trumpet Battle, bowing out gracefully because he knew that the spotlight belonged on the guest.
I was playing bass that day. Mort on piano and Chris on keys. Just created this google account cuz you asked. Looking forward to seeing how this works out. Anyway... amaq.
Yes I just clicked on this and will listen shortly. That is l a session drummer and member of Tom Scott's l a express John also worked for joni Mitchell was on several of her cuts produced for her as well he also produced Keith caradines hit record from the movie Nashville I'm easy John passed in the early 2000s complications of pneumonia checked into a hospital died there. Great underated drummer imo
yes-Jon played a B6 in 1970-1971, then in 1971 switched to the B6L (tuning bell), he began using the S42L in 1983. Schilke has made a newer S43LHD for him but he doesn't like it as much as the S42L & B6L....
The funny thing is, Schilke made this 4 ounce beryllium-copper bell for Jon to try, Jon takes it to a studio date in NYC w Barry Manilow. The drummer drops his equipment (by accient) on Jon's horn and crushes the bell. So much for that...most of those early copper bells (like the one I have from '72 on my B6L) are VERY thin but they had a soldered bell bead which makes them resonate better than the new ones-the older ones are also a lot brighter and louder. Chase, Faddis, Johnny Madrid, Lew Soloff, Alan Rubin, Randy Brecker, Glenn Stuart were all using the B6L in the early '70's
JJ Martin I think I remember hearing that when I used to hang out at the downtown Schilke factory in the late seventies. I'm a bit of a Schilke gearhead. Too bad I can't post a picture of my '56 Schilke here.
saw Faddis w/ Hamp; in Lake Tahoe (73) Cal wearing his father's suit; -quiet and capable; heard some disparaging stuff about him being arrogant. after this .............anyone care?
WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT NONSENSE ? THEY WEREN'T RUSHING AT ALL... THEY LOCKED IN THE TEMPO AND HELD IT RIGHT THERE. RUSHING ? ROFLMAO

Sad to hear. I saw him doing some great solos in 1972 or '74 with Stan Kenton at Keesler AFB. Never forgot him!
Wow I just saw his 87th Birthday Celebration at Catalina Jazz club tonight.. Happy Birthday Jack Sheldon!!!
RIP Jack Sheldon.......Grew up with School House Rock

What a great club. You were lucky.
@@jorgecallico9177 ... Yeah that's right... Maybe Jack Sheldon should have taken lessons from you.
How ridiculous ... ROFLMAO

Faddis is so great we take him for granted.
Rest in peace. That was some unforgettable music.

Jack held his own!!! Jon was beast!
Jack and Merv were friends. Jack could play and never insecure about his abilities. Both great musicians.
Noreen Jackson
RIP Jack. great clip.
"Run Buddy Run".
Remember Buddy Overstreet? And "Chicken Little"?
That was Jack Sheldon back in tge 1960s. Actor & Trumpet player.
I set the drums up on this show and every thing John Guerin played on for 35 years or more.
He’s busting a nut on that ride cymbal....
Cary Kocher awful - agreed - happy that trend went away
Ron Chrisman Guerin was one of the greats
I only know of 2 drummers who lived in Beverly Hills: Ringo Starr & John Guerin! Nicest guy in the world, too!
@@ericdreizen1463 That's correct. John actually lived in Bel Aire , a step up from B.H. When he lived with Joni Mitchell. I moved him out while she wa gone lol.
Jack was also fantastic! Thank you for uploading this video.
STILL ONE OF THE BEST EVER.
Dizzy Gillespie saw Jon Faddis play somewhere when Faddis was still in high school, and decided to take him under his wing as a mentor to him. I think the influence is obvious.
YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT... THAT IS HOW IT HAPPENED... DIZZY DID TAKE JOHN FADDIS UNDER HIS WING INDEED.
AT LEAST ACCORDING TO EVERYTHING I HAVE READ ABOUT DIZZY AND JON FADDIS
Jon sure seems to be having fun
I watched this so many times. Jon Faddis is a giant. An absolute giant. Jack is not so bad either!
I dunno, people saying Merv was being a dick but I'm sure he was well aware how good Jack was, he gave him a chance to shine and demonstrate hell yeah he could play fast too.
Eu tinha 6 ano de idade esse cara já tocava desse jeito hoje tenho 41 em 2020passpou um tempinho
GREAT clip!!!
Grew up watching Merv 4:30 to 6:00 eastern time. Great interviews
Jack Sheldon is no slouch
The guys are just having some fun.. teasing each other... nothing to it!
Merv's impression of sheldon is spot on lol
Jack was so hot on Dragnet. He was on about five shows that I just watched today.
Jack was great cold turkey.
Jack si the best
that was fun to watch :)
I think that the huge gap in Jon’s two front teeth helps greatly with his amazing high notes.
il faut avoir un diastème ou aller chez le dentiste? ridicule
Jack was no slouch, he had some chops!
Jack Sheldon was simply one of the coolest cats in show biz. And unlike today's hipsters, he didn't have to work at it.
This clip not only showcased his talent, but far more importantly, his character.
He did as Merv asked, but then you watch him quit the Trumpet Battle, bowing out gracefully because he knew that the spotlight belonged on the guest.
It's as though he clearly knew What His Function was.
Very FINE!!!!!
Super fast tempo !!!!!!! unreal! BPM=352
Who's on bass and piano? What a great clip--hats off to Merv for showcasing jazz for the country.
I was playing bass that day. Mort on piano and Chris on keys.
Just created this google account cuz you asked.
Looking forward to seeing how this works out.
Anyway... amaq.
@@imverbs Fantastic! Smokin' hot bass line, setting a great pocket.
I was very impressed by the bass line that was not just fast ... it was GOOD!
Merv was the most gracious host, was he not? Someone said the drummer is the late John Guerin whom I first heard on Zappa's "Hot Rats" record.

💖🤘🏽🎧
Wow, so melodic.
Anyone know what model Schilke he is using, S42?
yes-Jon played a B6 in 1970-1971, then in 1971 switched to the B6L (tuning bell), he began using the S42L in 1983. Schilke has made a newer S43LHD for him but he doesn't like it as much as the S42L & B6L....
JJ Martin thanks much for the response. I remember in the late seventies 529s Wabash being told about the extremely thin bells made for his B6L

Hey! Its bill!
"Chicken Little" !
Musicians like some ribbing and this was VERY mild
ever played in a band?
jaw on floor
I was talking to a Navy Seal at the bar tonight who could do better. Underwater. So he said.
But I suspect he flubbled some notes.
His embouchure looks like such a mess.
Oh
Marv was a dope
ev dallas n
ev dallas agree - he was hard to watch on this - corny and awkward - Somehow I enjoy him as a kid though, changing times maybe
Who is this Marv... You are referring to ?
Maybe it's you that is the dope.
the guitarrist no like
mad but quiet guitarist
Rhythm section is rushing this horribly.
mrbertiep1 nope - that’s where Faddis called it and that’s where it stayed
WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT NONSENSE ?
THEY WEREN'T RUSHING AT ALL... THEY LOCKED IN THE TEMPO AND HELD IT RIGHT THERE.
RUSHING ?
ROFLMAO
Shit, I could play random notes and call it music, too...
the white guy wasnt that good
good enough.
Which one is white?
Oh you didn’t know Jack was black?
@@franklee1550 Gold Star comment!
Merv was such a gay.
