Jim Sellers is a
sought-after performer who plays at such première
Chicago jazz venues as the Jazz Showcase, The Green
Mill, Pop’s in Highwood, Chambers in Niles, and Andy’s
Live Jazz, just to name a few. Jim’s latest C.D. "House
Hour" features original compositions and outstanding
performances by internationally recognized saxophonist
Frank Catalano and the great Chicago trumpeter Art
Davis. Jim often performed with bassist Bill Yancey, a
Chicago-area icon who toured and recorded with Ella
Fitzgerald and Eddie Harris and performed with Duke
Ellington. (Bill Yancey died in January 2004.) Jim is
featured along with Yancey on the CD "The Double Life"
by Gina Gibson, with whom Jim also frequently performs.
From A Reviewer:
Jim Sellers is an amazing artist - he has managed to
maintain the vital components of jazz composition, while
not descending into derivitive carbon copy. His work
explores the decades of 20th century jazz, however,
never does the album sound unfocused. This is simply a
talented man who respects the early pop standards of
Gershwin and Porter as much as the challenging bop of
Parker and Tyner. It's nice to hear (in this era of
post-office 'smooth' jazz) a player with restraint,
chops, imagination, and emotion. Swing on, Brother Jim!
