Jazz
As this album buoyantly demonstrates, Feldman was a superbly creative pianist, a greatly neglected vibraphonist and no less significantly a composer whose works, diversified though they are, have in common a consistent melodic creativity. Victor spent a memorable year with Cannonball Adderley (1960-61), several months as Peggy Lee's accompanist and a tour playing vibes during Benny Goodman's historic visit to the USSR in 1962. Reed man Tom Scott is the product of a musical family. By the time he was 19, in 1967, he had mastered five instruments, played with Oliver Nelson and Don Ellis. The title track, iSeven Steps to Heaven/i is a number Victor wrote during a period when he worked with Miles Davis in 1963.

Victor Feldman was a child prodigy who was a professional from the age of seven and sat in on drums with Glenn Miller's Army Air Force Band in 1944 when he was ten. He was active in his native England through the bebop years (mostly on drums), debuting as a leader in 1948. By 1952, Feldman was getting better-known for his vibes playing and he recorded extensively during the 1950s. After touring with Woody Herman (1956-1957), he decided to move to the U.S. in 1957, where he worked at the Lighthouse with Howard Rumsey. Feldman recorded (on vibes and piano) for Mode, Contemporary, and Riverside during 1957-1961, a period in which he became a busy studio musician. Feldman was with Cannonball Adderley's Quintet (mostly as a pianist) for six months in 1960-1961 and recorded with Miles Davis in 1963 (who offered him a job with his new quintet and recorded his original "Seven Steps to Heaven"), but remained in L.A. and the studios. He cut jazz dates for Choice, Concord, Palo Alto, and TBA and in the 1980s up until his death he led a soulful crossover group (the Generation Band) that often featured his son, Trevor Feldman, on drums.
