James Richard Skidmore (8 February 1916 – 22 August 1998)[1][2] was an English jazz tenor saxophonist. He was born in Manor Park, London and was the father of tenor and soprano saxophonist Alan Skidmore.[1]
Perhaps best known for his work with George Shearing from 1950 to 1952, Jimmy Skidmore worked with a variety of other well-known jazz musicians, including Humphrey Lyttelton, Victor Feldman and Kenny Baker.[2]
After celebrating his 80th birthday by playing alongside his son, Skidmore died in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England, in August 1998, at the age of 82.[2]
