Zandboer, Sheldon

Tipping Velvet

The consistent theme in Sheldon's composing for his debut album, Tipping Velvet, is to reintroduce strong melody into jazz so that the music stays with you well after it's played. He used his own tastes and sensibilities to create music that is complicated - but doesn't sound like it. He took inspiration from contemporary jazz greats such as Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays, while keeping in mind the melodic strength of Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Robert Glasper, and Miles Davis. Tipping Velvet is Sheldon's version of melodic jazz that relies on being musical, with the thoughtfulness of a seasoned composer.
