Over the course of an extraordinarily diverse career that has made him a first call musician in the realms of jazz, pop, and the studio worlds, multi-woodwind specialist Bob Sheppard has always let his array of saxophones, flutes and clarinets do the talking.

Superstar names highlight his resume, and jazz critics have been raving about him for a long time. This well earned praise is simply a byproduct of Sheppard’s years of steady work and dedication to his craft.

“Bob Sheppard of Los Angeles is one of the most skilled multireed players in jazz. He is a studio musician, professor, clinician and first-call sideman.”

“Sheppard brings certain qualities to the table that you won’t hear from any of his contemporaries.”

“One of the top-tier saxophonists of our time, Bob Sheppard is not just one of the finest musicians in Los Angeles; he is a jazz luminary with an international reputation.”

A distinct advantage of dividing his time between Los Angeles and New York is that Sheppard has forged working relationships with the best musicians on both coasts. Bob has been a steadfast member of the Billy Childs Ensembles and the Peter Erskine trio for over a decade.

Additionally over the years, Sheppard has toured with Steely Dan and Boz Scaggs, and brought his diverse talents to more recent performances with James Taylor, Natalie Cole, Queen Latifah, and most notably the legendary Joni Mitchell. He also played on a live studio video with Mitchell and Herbie Hancock.

Other distinguised collaborations include eight years with Freddie Hubbard, tours and performances with Chick Corea’s ensemble Origin, Mike Stern, Randy Brecker, Horace Silver, and the Nat Adderly and Toshiko Akiyoshi/Tabackin Big Band.

Significant recording credits include Scott Henderson, John Beasley, Mark Isham, Otmaro Ruiz, Bill Cunliffe; vocalists Kurt Elling, Marilyn Scott, Michael Franks and Diane Reeves; pop icons Steely Dan, Rickie Lee Jones, Rod Stewart, Randy Newman, and Stevie Wonder; and occasional soloist on the hit TV show American Idol.

On Sunday November 8th at 7:30pm at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Sheppard will be performing with Grammy winning pianist and composer Billy Childs, paying homage to the great singer-songwriter Laura Nyro and her innovative songbook of joyous Brill Building jazz-pop from Child’s album, “Map to the Treasure, Reimagining Laura Nyro.”
