Timeline

1940

Richard Bruce Shearer (September 21, 1940 – September 20, 1997) was an American jazz trombonist.

Shearer was lead trombonist and music director for the Stan Kenton Orchestra.

1960

He succeeded Jim Trimble in the late 1960s, led the band during Kenton's illnesses, and produced several of its albums.

1979

He remained with the band until Kenton's death in 1979.

For the next three years, Shearer was director of jazz bands at Wayne State University in Detroit.

In soft ensemble passages (such as the Dee Barton arrangement of "Here's That Rainy Day"), Shearer plays softly, achieving an orchestral pianissimo; this technique allows the later ensemble climax to seem even more powerful.

Shearer also championed what is referred to as the "breath attack", where repeated notes (usually in a ballad) are not tongued, but are given an extra "push" of air.

Mike Vax, lead trumpeter of the Stan Kenton Orchestra, said, "Dick Shearer was the most important person on the band. I think that Stan felt about him like a son...the way Dick played trombone, that was the Kenton sound. Dick's trombone was derivative of all the great Kenton lead players, going all the way back to Kai Winding. But sometimes the person who's the end of a legacy becomes the culmination of the legacy, so I think Dick was the greatest lead trombone player of them all."
