A veteran tenor saxophonist and flutist, Seldon Powell has adjusted and honed his style over the years, being flexible enough to play anything from swing to hard bop and in between. He's not a great soloist, ambitious composer or spectacular arranger; he's simply a good, consistent player who's survived many changes and trends to remain active from the late '40s until the '90s. Powell was classically trained in New York, then worked briefly with Tab Smith in 1949 before joining Lucky Millinder and recording with him in 1950. Powell was in the military in 1950 and 1951, then became a studio musician in New York.
