I was fortunate enough to be a student of Shew's when I was in college- an experience I'll never forget! Given where I'm at in my life his words in this video give me chills and are insanely motivating. Bobby will always be one of the greats!!!
Looking and sounding great Bobby! I remember you telling me that story about becoming lead in Buddy's band during a lesson a couple years ago. That's great that you did your photo shoot at and near your house...truly one of the most beautiful places I've been to so far! I remember driving on the one road they did! :)
Hi Bobby, great to hear and see you again! I met you during the 2006 Jamey Aebersold Jazz camp, you told me you were moving to Texas, well I guess you did. Great sound!
In 1992 I attended the Port Townsend jazz workshop, a week long opportunity to study with, and hear lectures from some of the giants of jazz. I remember the talks Bobby gave during that week, and of course, the many times he played for us. Truly a wonderful musician.
Great philosophical insights as well as great playing! I like this video a lot. People need to understand that playing jazz is not just about trying to not hit wrong notes! If you aren't willing to hit a so-called "wrong note", then you won't want to improvise for fear of missing notes. I think this stops a lot of people from trying.
"You gotta miss notes to find out how to get them."That's a Beautifully Ubiquitous Concept, Bobby. I didn't know Bobby Shew lived in Albuquerque.I wonder if he plays locally somewhere?
I learned to not fear wrong notes (late in life). They are all just notes but sometimes they'll show up in the wrong place. They're not "bad" notes but sometimes they show up in the wrong place or the wrong time and you discover (sometimes) that they suggest the beginning of a new phrase.
Bobby Shew was the guest artist at the final season concert for my high school county honor jazz band in 1988. I played baritone saxophone in that group. It was an awesome experience to get to play with such a legend. I will never forget that night for the rest of my life. Thanks Mr. Shew!
I love his solo in Bob Curnow's arrangement of the Pat Matheny/Lyle Mays tune Minuano (Six-Eight). I just found ther transcription for it!!! Christmas.
I used to sniff my dads case too and smelled the seriousness plus the cigarette smells of the cabaret theater where he played here in the bahamas...when i turned 14 that was it lol
Incredible teacher to me. Will always be my biggest inspiration in life.
This video gives me a lot of motivation for practise. I use to watch it at least once in the week. :D

家キレイ～
What a humble legendary trumpet player 🙏. I can't keep my eyes off his 'trumpet lips' why most trumpet players always get them? 🤷🏾♂️🎺
Shame Bobby wasn't able to focus more on jazz throughout his career instead of all that screeching. Lovely jazz player.
