Bob Sheppard
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 Sheppard always has let his array of saxophones, flutes, and clarinets do the talking. Superstar names highlight his resume, and jazz critics have been raving about him as both a sideman and leader for years, but such praise is simply a byproduct of Sheppard麓s years of steady work and dedication to his craft. Over the years, he has toured with Steely Dan and Boz Scaggs, and brought his diverse talents to more recent performances with James Taylor, Natalie Cole, and Queen Latifah and most notably with the legendary Joni Mitchell on her four-disc set and her 2007 Grammy-winning, Shine.
