Producer Frank Marshall on Resurrecting a Lost Album by Jazz Greats Chet Baker and Jack Sheldon, 52 Years After It Was Recorded
Hollywood producer Frank Marshall helped resurrect a lost 1972 studio album by jazz greats Chet Baker and Jack Sheldon that his father played on.
For one, the previously unreleased 11-song set is a full-on collaboration with a second trumpeter-singer, Jack Sheldon — who may be best known to fans of a certain age as a familiar voice from the “Schoolhouse Rock” television show’s songs. “In Perfect Harmony: The Lost Album” was released in an elaborate vinyl package for Record Store Day last month, and that LP was followed later by a just-as-elaborate but more compact CD edition. But possibly just as interesting is Jack Marshall’s own history of work before he died of a heart attack on Sept. 20, 1973, leaving the tape in limbo; his son shares a bit about what it was like to grow up with one of SoCal’s more revered musicians in the ’60s and early ’70s.
