Bobby Shew- Trumpet

I I Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Bobby Shew began playing the guitar at the age , eight and switched to the trumpet at ten. By the time he was thirteen he was playing local dances with a number of bands and by fifteen had put together his own group · play at dances, occ;asional concerts and in jazz coffee houses. He spent most of his hiE I I school days playing as many as six nights a week in a dinner club, giving him an ear start to his professional career. He then spent three years as the jazz trumpet soloist : the famed NORAD multi-service band. Shortly after leaving he joined the Tomrr Dorsey Orchestra under the direction of Sam Donahue, which, among other things, ga, I him the chance to perform quite a bit with trumpet legend Charlie Shavers. After his sti: with Tommy Dorsey, Bobby was !lSked to play with Woody Herman's band upon Bi Chase's recommendation. He then spent some time playing for Della Reese and Bude

I 'I Rich, who's big band had just been formed. Many other similar situations followed ar Bobby played lead trumpet for a number of pop stars. This brought Bobby to live inrL: Vegas where he became prominent in various hotels and casinos. By this time Bobt was widely known for his strong lead playing rather than as a jazz soloist. So late . I 1972 he decided to make a move to the Los Angeles area in order to get re-involved : developing as a jazz player.

I

Once in Los Angeles, Bobby quickly found what he was looking for, and in the years to come he spent time with the groups of Art Pepper, Bud Shank, Horace Silver Quintet, and Frank Strazzeri-Sam Most, as well as numerous big bands such as Bill Holman, I , Louie Bellson, Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin, Oliver Nelson, Bill Berry, Nat Pierce- 1111) Frank Capp Juggernaut, Ed Shaughnessy, Terry Gibbs, Benny Goodman, Maynard Ferguson, Neal Hefti, Don Menza, and Bob Florence. -In addition to being a sideman, Bobby also became a leader around this time, recording many of his own albums. Several of these received very high accolades from critics and high placement on the airplay charts. One of his albums, Outstanding In His Field was I nominated for a Grammy in 1980, while, Heavy Company was awarded the Jazz.Album 1111) of the Year in 1983. During this time, Bobby also found a great deal of studio work, including TV shows like Hawaii 5-0, Streets Of San Francisco, Bob Newhart, Mary Tyler Moore , Midnight Specials, Don Kirschner Rock Concert, Happy Days, Laverne I And Shirley, and Eight Is Enough. His work on soundtracks includes Grease I and II, • J Rocky I and II, Six-Pack, The Muppet Movie, The Drivers, and Taxi.

Today, in addition to a busy performing and private teaching schedule, Bobby spends a -considerable amount of time actively involved in the educational system, conducting clinics and master classes at high schools and college campuses all over the world. Bobby has also been active on the Board ofDirectors of the International Trumpet Guild, I and has acted as National Trumpet Chairman for the International Association of Jazz Ill) Educator's for 16 years. He authors numerous articles of educational interest in various trade magazines, all translated into several languages for worldwide distribution. During a period of traveling to New Zealand, Bobby acted as host for a weekly TV show entitled I Just Jazz and has been in numerous artist-in-residence situations virtually all over the ~J world.

He has even had a few minor acting roles in movies and TV shows. He continues to tour -internationally and to produce and record excellent music. He has released several recent albums for the MAMA Foundation including Playing With Fire (wffom Harrell), Heavyweights (w/Carl Fontana), and Salsa Caliente. In addition, for other labels, Bobby I has released the highly regarded CD recorded with the The Metropole Orchestra, and a ~J double-CD set for Seabreeze Records of Tfie Music of John Harmon, plus many others.

Bobby has endorsed Yamaha equipment for years and the fact that they have recently I been using him for advertisements is a further indication of his popularity. ~J Bobby Shew never stops using his remarkable insight, sensitivity and creativity to inspire 1 the next generation of jazz players and teachers.
