Bio
.. ..WOODY SHAW ..December 24, 1944 - May 10, 1989...... .. Woody Shaw grew up in Newark, New Jersey, and began his study of music at the age of 11. Early in his career he was influenced by Louis Armstrong and Harry James, and then Clifford Brown, Fats Navarro, Booker Little, Dizzy Gillespie (whom Woody's father had gone to high school with), Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, and others. However, the influence of saxophonist Eric Dolphy (with whom he played and recorded in the 1960s) and John Coltrane, were equally as important to the development of his style and harmonic concept - as both a trumpeter and composer. He worked during the 1960s with such greats as Horace Silver, Max Roach, and Art Blakey. During this period he also recorded for Blue Note Records as a sideman with Andrew Hill, Jackie McLean, Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner, Hank Mobley, Booker Ervin and others. Beginning in the mid-1970s he worked primarily as a leader..... In 1978 Shaw was signed to Columbia Records and recorded the albums Rosewood, Stepping Stones, Woody III, For Sure, and United. Rosewood was nominated for 2 Grammies and was voted Best Jazz Album of 1978 in the Down Beat Reader's Poll, which also voted Woody Shaw Best Jazz Trumpeter of the Year and 4 Jazz Musician of the Year..... Woody Shaw is credited as being the last major innovator on the trumpet and arguably one of the last major conceptualists in Modern Jazz. He expanded the technical and harmonic capacity of the instrument and left a vast repertoire of highly original compositions which countless students and musicians use as the basis for their own enjoyment and musical development..... Woody Shaw died on May 10th, 1989 in New York City. ....The legacy of his musical genius has become a tremendous symbol for artists and fans world-wide. .. .... ..FOR BIO AND LATEST NEWS, VISIT ..WOODYSHAW.COM.. .. .... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..........Get your own Flash MP3 Player.......... .... .. ......[Album Info]...... .... .... .. .. .. .. .. ..,r> .. .. .. .. ......

Sending Lots of LOVE and RESPECT to you !
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT SELF RESPECT ...
"Don't RELY ON someone else for your HAPPINESS
and SELF WORTH. Only YOU can be responsible for that.
If you can't LOVE and RESPECT YOURSELF -
NO ONE ELSE will be able to make that happen.
Accept WHO YOU ARE - completely; the good and the bad -
and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think
SOMEONE ELSE wants you to be different."
~ Stacey Charter
RESPECT YOURSELF AND YOU WILL LEARN TO LOVE
AND RESPECT OTHERS. NEVER SELL YOURSELF SHORT!
YOU ARE BETTER THAN YOU THINK!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

One Step At A Time !
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE LADDER TO SUCCESS ...
“The ELEVATOR to SUCCESS is OUT OF ORDER.
You’ll have to use the LADDER …
ONE STEP AT A TIME.”
~ Joe Girard
THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS IN LIFE!
ALL OUR DREAMS CAN COME TRUE ~
IF WE HAVE THE COURAGE TO PURSUE THEM!

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ON HEALTH ...
"If you trust GOOGLE more than your DOCTOR

Don't let WORRY and STRESS control you !
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT WORRY ...
"Some of your HURTS you have CURED,
And the SHARPEST you still have SURVIVED,
But what TORMENTS OF GRIEF you ENDURED,
From the EVIL WHICH NEVER ARRIVED."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
DO NOT ANTICIPATE TROUBLE OR WORRY ABOUT
WHAT MAY NEVER HAPPEN.
WORRY, DOUBT, FEAR, AND DESPAIR ARE THE ENEMIES THAT SLOWLY BRING US DOWN TO THE GROUND AND TURN US TO DUST BEFORE WE DIE.
WORRY NEVER GETS US ANYWHERE!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

Sending LOTS OF LOVE your way !
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HUGS ...
"HUGGING is the IDEAL GIFT.
GREAT for any occasion, FUN to give and receive, shows you care, comes with its own wrapping and, of course, is fully returnable.
HUGGING is PRACTICALLY PERFECT.
> No batteries to wear out,
> inflation-proof,
> nonfattening,
> no monthly payments,
> theft-proof
> and NONTAXABLE."
THROUGH YOUR EMBRACE YOU SPEAK A THOUSAND WORDS, WITHOUT EVER SAYING ONE!

Tis the Season to be JOLLY !
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE CORPORATE MEMO ...
TO: ALL EMPLOYEES (especially you !)
FROM: MANAGEMENT
RE: OFFICE CONDUCT DURING THE CHRISTMAS SEASON
Effective immediately, employees should keep in mind the following guidelines in compliance with FROLIC (the Federal Revelry Office and Leisure Industry Council).
> Running aluminum foil through the paper shredder to make tinsel is discouraged.
> Playing Jingle Bells on the push-button phone is forbidden (it runs up an incredible long distance bill)
> Work requests are not to be filed under "Bah humbug."
> Company cars are not to be used to go over the river and through the woods to Grandma's house.
> All fruitcake is to be eaten BEFORE July 25.
> Egg nog will NOT be dispensed in vending machines.
In spite of all this, the staff is encouraged to have a Happy Holiday!
HAVE A GOOD LAUGH THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON!
