Synopsis

Product Description
Ace saxophonist Seldon Powell came to the attention of the worldwide jazz audience in the mid fifties when he made tow fine albums for the Roost label. Strangely, however, although greatly respected by his contemporaries no major recording concern ever saw to fit to give him its backing and his opportunities as leader were few and far between. There are though many fine examples of his playing on numerous dates with the likes of Gerry Mulligan, Louie Bellson, Neal Hefti, Clark Terry and many others. Candid featured Seldon on its Basie Alumni record Swinging for the Count in the early nineties and this rare set with Seldon as leader reunites Seldon and Clark having fun at Birdland in 1993. Candid had planned more recordings with Seldon but sadly it was not to be and this set became Seldon's 'End Play'.
