Bobby Shew

[jtrimmel]

Looks a bit like Jumbo.

[Johnflugelhorn]

I play a 1969 Couesnon and what Bobby is playing sounds very much like the Couesnon I play.

[lVlonkeyman]

What song is this?

[andytrumpet66]

defo a Couesnon flugel

[spectrumpartyband]

The Best.

[MichaelHTillman]

Just got turned on to this guy. Fantastic.

[jasonpp1973]

Bobby played lead trumpet in the band Jeff Sturges and Universe.

[freeeeeeedy]

On behalf of the British public, Bobby, i apologise for the rhythm section.

As M.U. execs they'll get a nice pension. Bless 'em.

[Bob1Mack]

@freeeeeeedy Yeaaah, I was looking for good examples of brass tone, so I wasn't really paying attention to them, but now that you mention it...

Are you sure they're union execs? 'Cause that would imply they met each other before they walked on stage..., at times they don't sound like it. Definitely got some chops, and do some nice things, but it would be better it they did them at the same tempo.... Nice (make that NICE) flugel, though

[andytrumpet66]

looks like a Couesnon flugelhorn, not a Yamaha

[jefftritonesub]

Fantastic!

[bhsisthebest]

Bobby Shew is one of the greatest of our time. As trumpet player, musician and last but not least - a man of beautiful personality full of friendliness.

[mattyzdog]

Bobby Shew is my idol as a trumpet player, this man is amazing.

[mwljazzguitar]

such a great player

[Freddoslav]

Who is on drums?

[nickpa660]

thats a couesnon. Looks like a 1970's model.

[jefftritonesub]

Is Bobby playing a Couesnon here? Early 80s makes me assume he was not on the Yamaha yet. He sure sounds incredible on it.

[sjking92]

i thought he was on a  Conn vintage 1 pro

[freeeeeeedy]

Gotta be hard playing over that rhythm section. Dancing on jelly.

[MFHorn683]

One of the prettiest, most effortless flugel horn sounds that exist. I sure love Bobby's playing!

[Oddeyez]

Johnny Depp on drums? :D /Seriously, a good drummer who really swings has got to have the ability to play soft.

[Freddoslav]

Who is the drumer?

[hasbren90]

it seems to me the drums could be louder- maybe i'm wrong, but you can barely hear them.

[JazzAleks]

he is awesome!

[jet310]

Shrew bares an uncanny resemblance to another great hornman: Al Hirt.

[timthesav]

man, he got so fat

[sjking92]

which famous old musician isnt?

[ManniDMM]

clarke terry and luis armstrong,

to name two trumpeters.

[RepublicanValues]

I remember seeing Bobby in the 70's with Dave Eshelmen's San Jose City College band. He was phenomenal. One of the wierd things I remember is he had the flattest stomach of anyone I've ever seen.

[symiankrone]

history behind this tune...he wrote it for Don Menza when he was in his band because Don had a flame on his ass the entire rehersal. heard this from bobby's mouth too no bull shit.

[valvemann]

Interesting to hear and see Bobby in his pre 6310Z flugel days. Obviously playing his beloved queenie...

[rdangelo]

Tune is Red Snapper, which Bobby wrote.
