Summit Records's8230;With one foot firmly planted in jazz tradition, and the other in polyrhythmic explorations of the world, Chip Shelton and Producer Kenny M. consider "PeaceTime" (smt
444), their third release on Summit, an artistic milestone.
On this project, the world-class flautist expands his palette to include singing and saxophone, in addition to his already impressive array of flutes, including the introduction of the
massive contrabass flute.
Featured sidemen include notables Roy Meriwether, Marcus McClaurine, Lou Volpe, Guillerme Franco, and guest vocalist Jann Parker to name only half. Compositions include multiple Chip
Shelton originals, some unique interpretations of recognizable jazz classics, and fresh approaches to covers from composers as diverse as Archie Shepp, Smokey Robinson, and Joe
Zawinul.
"PeaceTime" is a tour de force, seamlessly held together by the spiritual unity inherent in our American Art Form Jazz!
