Blake Shaw is one of Iowa’s first-call bassists, as well as a singer, arranger and composer. He fell in love with the bass when his jazz band director asked him to switch from trombone. He went on to study at Kirkwood, finally receiving his Masters at the University of Iowa. Pretty good for a musician who spent his high school career as Lisbon High School’s only string player!
Blake brings his Big(ish) band to Jazz Under The Stars August 25. Young Artist performers will be the Kirkwood Jazz Combo. In fact, it’s Kirkwood night at Jazz Under the Stars, with the Kirkwood Alumni Association hanging out with us.
