This is the second release in the “Have Flute Will

Travel” series. This 2-Disc set titled “Stop2- Cape May,

was preceded by the fun-filled first release “Stop 1-

Berlin”, which is on Summit Records.

Sharing the bill with Hubert Laws, Fathead Newman,

Dave Valentine, Bobbie Watson, and many others,

while honoring the music of Herbie Mann at Cape May

was a fantastic experience. Upon receiving the invita-

tion, everything fell into place as though it was meant

to be. Perhaps the moments producer Kenny M and I

once spent with Herbie Mann in his dressing room at

the Blue Note, carried more metaphysical weight than

Kenny or I could have imagined.

Guitarist Lou Volpe, drummer Sipho Kunene, and I

were already musically, and personally, fairly tight.

However, I met Doug Carn only recently.Our first

collaboration had Doug traveling from his native

Florida to perform with me in Washington, DC at

Blues Alley. Hanging with Doug has been an

adventure, an education, and an honor.

For this occasion, I reactivated my soprano sax and vocal chops, both dormant and unused for the

entirety of my 10 year recording career. An uncanny series of events told me that “now” is the right

time for adding sax and vocal to my performances. (As an aside, there are other instruments in my per-

formance past, however, only time will tell if reactivating them feels right.) Before adding anything

else I will be wise to consult with Doug Carn; on one of his recordings Doug sings, plays winds, brass,

keys, steel pans, and more. Stay tuned.

Please enjoy the music. And thank you Denise Spaulding and all the folks at the Cape May Festival for

your loving support.

Chip and

sidekick, Sage

Chip plays the flute with great flavor and sensitivity. Playing with a

multi-talented rhythm section consisting of South African drummer Sipho Kunene,

renowned keyboardist/organist Doug Carn, and the tasty Lou Volpe on guitar,

Chip’s band was an exciting addition to our November, 2005 Cape May

Jazz Festival line-up honoring Herbie Mann...

Cape May Jazz Festival Program Committee

Chip Shelton’s Flute, Sax, Vocal, and Percussion pays tribute to Herbie Mann and grooves to the soulful B3Organ sound. The live audience is audibly excited about the “feel good” spirit adrift throughout the show.

The Musicians…

Veteran Organist Doug Carn innovatively delivers masterful harmonies, bass lines, and solos shaping this 2-CD set into a Chicken Coup Records release…

Guitarist Lou Volpe, having toured extensively and recorded with Herbie Mann, Les McCann, JoeyDiFrancesco, Roberta Flack, and Herbie Hancock, provides a palette of chordal and soloistic expertise.

South Africa born drummer Sipho Kunene draws from his experience playing with Abdullah Ibrahim, HarryBelafonte, Hugh Masakela, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, to percussively support the large sound thissmallish group emits.
