Biography of Stu Williamson
by Scott Yanow
The younger brother of pianist Claude Williamson, Stu Williamson was a fixture on West Coast jazz dates of the 1950s. He moved to Los Angeles in 1949 and spent periods playing with Stan Kenton (1951), Woody Herman (1952-1953), and Kenton again (1954-1955), in addition to shorter stints with Billy May and Charlie Barnet. The mellow-toned Williamson, best-known for his association with Shelly Manne (off and on during 1954-1958), was on a countless number of sessions up until 1968 when he dropped out of the music scene. A drug addict, Stu Williamson spent most of his last two decades struggling outside of music.

Biography of Jack Sheldon
by Scott Yanow
One of the great jokesters in jazz (whose spontaneous monologues are as hilarious as they are tasteless), Jack Sheldon's personality has sometimes overshadowed his excellent trumpet playing and effective vocals. Sheldon started playing professionally at age 13. He moved to Los Angeles in 1947, joined the Air Force and played in military bands. After his discharge, Sheldon became a popular figure on the West Coast, playing and recording with many top musicians including Jimmy Giuffre, Herb Geller, Wardell Gray, Stan Kenton, Benny Goodman, Curtis Counce, and Art Pepper. He worked as an actor in the 1960s (including starring in the short-lived television series Run Buddy Run), was seen nightly on The Merv Griffin Show, and in the 1970s and '80s he performed with Benny Goodman, Bill Berry's big band, in the studios, and with his own groups. He also made his mark on millions of American children by being the vocalist for both "Conjuction Junction" and "I'm Just a Bill" from the Schoolhouse Rocks! series. Into the mid-'90s, Jack Sheldon (who often uses a big band arranged by Tom Kubis) remained quite active in the Los Angeles area, recording regularly for Concord and his Butterfly label.

Biografía de Stu Williamson
por Scott Yanow
Hermano menor del pianista Claude Williamson, Stu Williamson era un fijo en las citas de jazz de la Costa Oeste en la década de 1950. Se trasladó a Los Ángeles en 1949 y pasó periodos tocando con Stan Kenton (1951), Woody Herman (1952-1953) y Kenton de nuevo (1954-1955), además de periodos más cortos con Billy May y Charlie Barnet. El meloso Williamson, más conocido por su asociación con Shelly Manne (de forma intermitente durante 1954-1958), participó en un sinfín de sesiones hasta 1968, cuando abandonó la escena musical. Adicto a las drogas, Stu Williamson pasó la mayor parte de sus dos últimas décadas luchando fuera de la música.

Biografía de Jack Sheldon
por Scott Yanow
La personalidad de Jack Sheldon, uno de los grandes bromistas del jazz (cuyos monólogos espontáneos son tan hilarantes como insípidos), ha eclipsado a veces su excelente forma de tocar la trompeta y su eficaz voz. Sheldon empezó a tocar profesionalmente a los 13 años. Se trasladó a Los Ángeles en 1947, se alistó en las Fuerzas Aéreas y tocó en bandas militares. Tras su licenciamiento, Sheldon se convirtió en una figura popular en la Costa Oeste, tocando y grabando con muchos músicos de primera fila, como Jimmy Giuffre, Herb Geller, Wardell Gray, Stan Kenton, Benny Goodman, Curtis Counce y Art Pepper. Trabajó como actor en la década de 1960 (incluso protagonizando la breve serie de televisión Run Buddy Run), se le veía cada noche en The Merv Griffin Show, y en las décadas de 1970 y 1980 actuó con Benny Goodman, la big band de Bill Berry, en los estudios y con sus propios grupos. ¡También dejó su huella en millones de niños estadounidenses al ser el vocalista de "Conjuction Junction" y "I'm Just a Bill" de la serie Schoolhouse Rocks! A mediados de los 90, Jack Sheldon (que a menudo utiliza una gran banda con arreglos de Tom Kubis) siguió muy activo en la zona de Los Ángeles, grabando regularmente para Concord y su sello Butterfly.
