Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on January 20, 1957)

Happy Birthday, Andy Sheppard! Another year older and still jazzing it up—clearly you're "Soft On The Inside" but unstoppable on the outside. From founding legendary big bands to collaborating with giants like Gil Evans and Steve Swallow, your saxophone has serenaded us through countless unforgettable moments.

With multiple British Jazz Awards under your belt (do you even have room left?), you've proven that age is just a number—but talent is timeless. May this birthday swing as smoothly as one of your solos, filled with laughter, joy, and perhaps fewer wrong notes than candles on the cake. Keep grooving!
