• Trumpeter Jack Sheldon’s debut on record was proof that he had established himself among the most promising young talents of his era, with a sound that was earthier than his contemporary Chet Baker.

• Walter Norris was the pianist on Sheldon's first two records, originally issued on 10 inch LP, the second featuring Zoot Sims' hard swinging tenor. The final three quintet tracks were cut with Joe Maini on alto in November 1955 when the two men were working regularly together at a Los Angeles club.

• Today, more than 50 years after these early recordings Sheldon's reputation as one of the best trumpeters ever to grace the West Coast scene remains unchallenged
