Biography
Charlie Shavers was among the great trumpeters to emerge through the golf swing period, a virtuoso with an open-minded and extroverted design plus a strong love of life. He originally performed piano and banjo before switching to trumpet, and he created rapidly. In 1935, he was with Tiny Bradshaw’s music group and 2 yrs later he became a member of Lucky Millinder’s big music group. Quickly afterward he became an integral person in John Kirby’s Sextet where he demonstrated his flexibility by mainly playing sharp solos while muted. Shavers was popular for recording classes and participated on significant times with New Orleans jazz pioneers Johnny Dodds, Jimmy Noone, and Sidney Bechet. He also got many opportunities to create preparations for Kirby and got a major strike with his structure “Undecided.” After departing Kirby in 1944, Charlie Shavers worked well to get a yr with Raymond Scott’s CBS personnel orchestra, and was a significant section of Tommy Dorsey’s Orchestra from 1945 until previous TD’s loss of life in 1956. Although well-featured, this association held Shavers from the limelight of jazz, but luckily he did possess occasional vacations where he recorded using the Metronome All-Stars and toured with Jazz in the Philharmonic; in the latter’s concerts in 1953, Shaver’s trumpet fights with Roy Eldridge had been quite thrilling. After Dorsey’s loss of life, Shavers frequently led his personal quartet although he returned towards the ghost music group every once in awhile. Through the 1960s, his range and technique steadily faded, and Charlie Shavers passed away from throat cancer tumor in 1971 at age 53.
