  • Description

    The death of Seldon Powell on 25th January 1997 at the age of 68 deprived jazz of a highly accomplished saxophone and woodwind who laboured creativity, but with scant recognition in the music scene for some forty seven productive years.
    During a career of considerable achievement, he worked with just about every major name from Don Redman to Woody Herman, from Benny Goodman to Count Basie, from Buddy Rich to Chet Baker.
    He spread joy whenever he played, and the appearances at Birdland were no exceptions in that respect.
    Only now that Seldon had made his last 'End Play' can listeners, hearing these typically trenchant selections, perhaps full comprehend the extent of the loss.
