World-renowned, Grammy award winning trumpeter, Bobby Shew has recorded with the elite of the jazz world for over three decades. A member of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, he also played with the Woody Herman band, and the big bands of Della Reese and Buddy Rich. He became a prominent performer in Las Vegas for many years and later moved to Los Angeles where he played with Art Pepper, Bud Shank, Horace Silver, as well as the big bands of Bill Holman, Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin, and Maynard Ferguson. Now living in his hometown of Albuquerque, Shew is one of the jazz community's most in-demand clinicians and concert soloists. Singer, pianist, and composer, John Proulx, has toured and performed with Anita O'Day, Natalie Cole, and Marian McPartland. He earned a Grammy for his song, "These Golden Years," recorded by vocalist Nancy Wilson and has emerged as a young talent on the Los Angeles jazz scene with his hot and swinging piano playing and a voice that recalls the smooth, mellow sounds of a young Chet Baker. The epitome of West Coast ''cool jazz'', Chet Baker caught the attention of the jazz world in the 1950's with his warm and lyrical trumpet playing and soft singing style. , Performing favorites from the Baker repertoire, Shew and Proulx, together with bassist, Michael Glynn and Santa Fe-based drummer, Cal Haines, bring Chet Baker's music to life. $20 Available to Outpost Members Only.
