Death Reports Are False

JazzTimes has comfirmed that reports of his death are false:

Earlier this morning we mistakenly published an obituary on Los Angeles-based trumpeter Jack Sheldon, based on unconfirmed reports from within the jazz industry that Sheldon had died. Sheldon is not deceased. His wife, Dianne Sheldon, has confirmed that Sheldon is alive and well and in Los Angeles. Mrs. Sheldon also said that she does not know how the rumors began. JT regrets the error. [1] BurienBomber (talk) 16:24, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that IMDB also has the incorrect death report, probably based on the original JT report. I've pointed IMDB at the JT retraction. --joe decker ^{talk to me} 19:56, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
