That show will feature works by Duke Ellington, Kenny Wheeler, Pat Metheny and arrangements made famous by Doc Severinsen and the Tonight Show Band. The Latin Jazz Ensemble also will perform.
At 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, in Waterman Theatre, Shaw will perform with the college Wind Ensemble in Fisher Tull's "Rhapsody."
"Brian Shaw is a fantastic trumpet player and highly accomplished performer in classical and jazz music," said his host, percussionist Eric Schmitz of the SUNY Oswego music faculty. "We went to school together at Eastman in the early 2000s, so this will be a 'reunion' of sorts."
An alumnus of the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester, Shaw plays Baroque as well as prize-winning modern trumpet, and has performed throughout North America, including Trinity Church on Wall Street, Music City Baroque in Nashville and Boston Early Music Festival. His CD, "Virtuoso Concerts for Clarino," includes what are considered some of the most difficult pieces written for trumpet.
