Bobby Shew Louie Bellson Blue

[@michaelackerman3823]

Bobby is one of the greatest musician ever. His trumpet and flugelhorn playing are superb. One of the best of the all time best!!!!

[@thetunedinacademycalendar6760]

Totally! I have a lesson with him next month too! Can't wait!

[@richtraube2241]

So much great music, so little time. Thanks for sharing.

[@stpd1957]

I was there. What a band!

[@Anonymous-md4ec]

Bobby captured Blue Mitchell , one of the sweetest human beings ansmd a great trumpet player and a great friend. Great tribute.

[@Ryh082f]

Thank you.

[@edwardmallon8679]

A moving and beautiful tribute to good friend and talented musician. What fools would give this a thumbs down?

[@kamarbazarek6460]

Tone Deaf Fools!!!

[@Calvin1985]

That fool is probably Kurt Thompson.

[@tjmckenzie4048]

My son, a senior in high school, played this part with his jazz band a month ago and I had to see the original. Although Bobby isn't nearly as good as my son, it's still such a great song. :)

[@peterderoos3012]

Beautiful !

[@whaler160]

I saw this band in 1980 at Ronnie Scott's it was amazing. Bobby Shew made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Alan Downey was in the trumpet section.

[@rossbrass1]

A master musician at work.

[@Ryh082f]

Ooooh, i love this add this to our collection. 😊🙃🫠.

[@andywright1146]

In the early 80's when I was about 12, Bobby came to the UK and ran a workshop with a bunch of local schools - he was truly inspirational. That evening he played in a small pub with the Southampton All Stars big band and was joined by Alan Downey and Derek Watkins - they pretty much blew the roof off the place. He played 'Blue' and watching this makes the hairs on my neck stand up as much as it did then.

[@marshalmcdonald7476]

Some of the most soulful horn playing I've ever heard. Pure expression with no licks, devices and cutesy quotes. Just terrific.

[@donchrisby7434]

what's wrong with quotes? Satchmo and Dexter Gordon put a quote every 10 seconds

[@marshalmcdonald7476]

@@donchrisby7434 Where do you see that I am critical of quotes?? ??

[@robertbranco1126]

One of the greatest all around trumpet players of all time

[@miffy9871]

He’s an awesome player. I was lucky enough to hear him play in a concert in the 90s. What a great sound and chops of steel.

[@normhall1622]

Dizzy loved the playing of Bobby Shew. Nuff said!

[@ericdreizen1463]

When I played w/ Blue Mitchell he puffed his cheeks out, a la Dizzy! And everybody loves Bobby Shew, who moved back to New Mexico a decade & a half ago, I believe.

[@claudiorodrigues4212]

Wonderful Flugel !!! Amazing sound! !!

[@steveykeeffe]

I was very fortunate to have been at this concert in the Cork Opera House.The Band were incredible! The line up was amazing with John Heard on bass, Frank Strazzeri on Piano, Arnie Lawerence on alto, Kenny Hitchcock on Tenor, I think Don Menza was also in the band. And of course Louie Bellson. An Amazing band. The Cork Jazz festival was a great festival back then. Nowadays it's "The Guinness Jazz Festival." I'm afraid it has become "How many pints can we sell," The artist line up has suffered greatly. It's very difficult to find anything resembling Jazz on that given weekend. Ah well, Happy Days..........

[@jamescampoccio1152]

Thank you for posting the line-up.

[@dcidublin]

I too had the pleasure of attending the Cork Jazz Festival in 1980 and I particularly remember this number

[@stvelgegogogo]

I just heard this trumpet performer and was overwhelmed... this dude is good!!

Fantatstic Bobby Shew.

[@grahamm3139]

Wow, that was sweet.

[@Freddoslav]

Beautiful, thnx mikebuddy1

[@19overlookR]

Wow.

[@trumpetdude320]

I played this at a state jazz festival for school and it's a really good piece! At the climax part with the melody in the trumpet section, the judges supposedly stand up and clap, but I don't notice it until I listen to the recording afterward haha

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Astounding and tasty all at once. Bobby Shew!

[@YAMISOOLD2009]

That was brilliant! Thanks for posting.

[@fepatton]

Recordings with Louie Bellson’s outstanding band of the ‘80s were my introduction to Bobby Shew. His flugelhorn solos are simply without parallel.

[@Funkadelic3]

One word. Class!

[@daytonsmith9605]

can someone put the improve solo at measure 37 on sheet music?

[@paxwallacejazz]

OK, Y'all hear how beautifully and minimally the bassist anchors Shew's ballad? That is possible because he is amplifying his bass intelligently so that you can hear the sustain of his very modern set up. Geez, it's starting to sound like 1937 out there. I hope this Mr. Natural phase passes quickly into the dust bin of jazz history. Let me tell you that's also the sound many Trio pianists (My hands up here) are looking for because that kind of amplification puts the bassist on a more even Evans like footing with the pianist. Boy Shew..

[@joesanaba6990]

Does anyone know where I could find a transcription of Bobby Shew's solo?

[@gonsalezr]

what year was this

1980

[@colemangee]

What year was this?

[@SKBottom]

Coleman Gee 1980.

[@darichard11]

Gotta be 1980 or 1981.

[@Anonymous-md4ec]

darichard11 Blue passed away in May 1979. I know because Patti and Herb Ellis called me to go to the service for Blue.

[@darichard11]

So 1980 makes sense then. I used to go see Louie's band pretty regularly around LA at the time. A few other bands as well. Many of the top LA players would do these gigs (Bobby Shew played with a few before he started his quartet). Just amazing to be able to see these guys all the time. My biggest issue was having the money to go see them.
