Chip Shelton's PeaceTime

Chio Shelton is a renowned Multi-Flutist whose performances include a variety of flutes from Piccolo to Contrabass Flute, currently residing in New York City and actively performing with his own group as well as making a variety of guest appearances internationally. Chip Shelton and his producer Kenny M. consider "PeaceTime", their third release on Summit Records, 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.
