Bobby Shew

BOBBY SHEW is one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time. Equally at home in a variety of genres, he has played a powerful lead in many of the world's top bands (including those of Tommy Dorsey, Woody Herman, Bud Shank and Art Pepper) but is even better known for his expressive solos. For many years he was one of Hollywood's busiest studio artists, and can be heard on dozens of famous film tracks. Now, however, he has returned to his jazz roots. In addition to being a performer, Bobby is a popular and highly inspirational music educator who has given clinics literally around the world. He uses two different mouthpieces: the 'Jazz' model is his usual all-around choice, while the 'Lead' model gives that extra sizzle and high note clarity for playing lead parts.
