Bobby Shew, Yamaha artist, was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. At the age of eight, Shew started playing the guitar, and at 10 years he switched to the trumpet.
Shew has performed with Tommy Dorsey, Woody Herman, and Buddy Rich, where they played in the hotels and casinos in Las Vegas.
Shew wanted to develop as a jazz player, so in 1972 he moved to Los Angeles. There he played with combos, Art Pepper, Bud Shank, Horace Silver, and with the bigger bands of Bill Holman, Louie Bellson, Terry Gibbs, and Maynard Ferguson.
Shew can be heard on the soundtracks to "Grease," "Rocky," and "Taxi."
Recently, he recorded "Playing with Fire," "Heavyweights," "Salsa Caliente," and with the Metropole Orchestra.
