Tributes from around the banding world continue to be given about the legendary James Shepherd who recently passed away.

One such comes in a special episode presented by Frank Renton on his regular 'Frank Renton on Brass' radio podcast series.

Gentleman Jim

On recording it Frank said: "I'm talking about one of my dearest and oldest friends and colleagues, Jim Shepherd, known affectionately by everyone in the business as Gentleman Jim.

That he's one of the great cornet players of all time goes without saying but his skills as a teacher and mentor to others is often overlooked.

He is simply one of the most natural musicians you could ever meet, and passing on what he knows to others is as natural as everything else.

He remains one of the most liked and respected musicians that I've been privileged to know."
