More Details About This Event: Shelton's sixth CD release, Peacetime (Summit Records, 2006), received a "Top Jazz Recording of 2006" award from Soul-Patrol.com at their annual convention in Philadelphia in May 2007. That same month, Summit Records released Shelton's seventh CD, Have Flute Will Travel, Stop 2, Cape May Jazz Festival Live!
Summit began a series of live Chip Shelton releases titled Have Flute Will Travel in 2004. The first in the live series was Stop 1: Berlin. Live in Cairo is already recorded and awaiting release, and subsequent locations are in the works. The best-known Shelton recording to date, Flute Bass-ics, featuring Ron Carter, wasn’t his first to climb the jazz radio airplay charts, but it has generated a high volume of airplay since its 2003 release on Summit. Memorable stellar Shelton appearances include A-Trane Jazz Club-Berlin; Nomme Jazz Festival-Estonia, featuring Ryo Kawasaki; Newark Arts Council-Annual Gala, featuring Roy Meriwether and Santi Debriano; Blues Alley & Bohemian Caverns (Washington, DC); Cecil's Jazz Club (NJ); Minton's Playhouse (Harlem, NY); and the Cape May Jazz Festival (NJ shore), featuring Doug Carn and Lou Volpe. Shelton's wind instrument collection is visually and aurally unique, and includes end-blown flutes in C and Bb, as well as alto, bass, contrabass, piccolo and ethnic flutes; antique tenor and soprano saxophones in C (ca.1921); and modern and soprano saxes in Bb.
