Carrying the rhythm section in the 80s and 90s, Carl Allen on drums with John Beasley on keyboards, and standing out front on sax was Bob Sheppard. Joining the band in the 90s was Ralph Moore on sax. On the reunion stage, Ambrose Akinmusure join this alumni band.
2 nights, 4 sets in the spirit of Freddie!
I was changing the style of the trumpet. I was trying to play the trumpet like a saxophone. Instead of saying, 'Dah, dah, du, du, di, di, di, do,' I was saying, 'Diddly, do, du, do, dah, do, wham, bam, be,' playing more intervals. And I was trying to make those as long glissando runs, like 'trun, da, dun, dun, da, lun, da, da, da, da, da,' and trumpet players don't do that. Freddie Hubbard

Home ......should become a Christmas Jazz classic..and establish Shelby Flint as a singer and songwriter of the highest order. (Wayne Lee JAZZIZ).
a lush glorious holiday treatthe ultimate in unplugged. (Jonathan Widran LA Jazz Scene)
Shelby Flint: I started out copying a girl named Shelby FlintJoni Mitchell / Mirabella Magazine
The simple song she wrote and sang as a teenager still resonates as the prototype for the entire female singer/songwriter genre. Shelby Flint's "Angel on My Shoulder" became a Top 30 hit on the radio in 1960 and launched a record company (Video: Story of Valiant Records). Another radio hit was Cast Your Fate to the Wind).
After raising a family and having worked in the company of artists such as Chick Corea, Tom Scott, and Al Jarreau, Ms. Flints own compositions and arrangements began to reflect the influences of jazz, latin, and R & B. In 1981, her work in the L.A. studios on albums, soundtracks such as Charlie Brown TV specialsand films such as The Rescuers" "Someone's Waiting for You" which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, "Breezy" and commercials earned her a NARAS Most Valuable Player nomination.
