BOB SCHULZ

>From Carnegie Hall to California, from Canada to New Orleans, and on many 
ships at sea, Bob Schulz has wowed the traditional jazz world with his cornet 
playing and ability to relate to his audience. And - to think it all started here 
in Wisconsin!

Bob was born in Wonewoc, WI. Bob picked up his father's cornet at the age of 
ten and has been blowing ever since. He was greatly influenced by Bob Scobey, 
who was active in Chicago and Madison in the late '50s and '60s. Bob was an 
original member of Wisconsin's own Riverboat Ramblers and also played with James 
Dapogny's Chicago Jazz Band. He was band director in Lake Mills from 1967 to 
1979, teaching at the Junior High first, then later at the High School.

Bob joined the legendary Turk Murphy Jazz Band of San Francisco in 1979. His 
eight years with Turk included 300 taped radio shows, many LPs, tours of US 
and Europe and the Carnegie Hall tribute to Turk. Bob still leads the Turk 
Murphy band for special engagements. 

He is the foremost exponent of the Bob Scobey trumpet style and is an 
outstanding vocalist in the tradition of Clancy Hayes. Bob was chosen to play the 
part of Bob Scobey with the Scobey Reunion Band engagement at the 1988 Los 
Angeles Classic Jazz Festival and in 1989 at the Big Horn Jazz Festival in Chicago. 
He has more than 35 LPs & CDs to his credit. 

In 1999, Bob was honored as the "Gentleman of Jazz" at the San Diego Jazz 
Festival. That same year he was voted #1 in the trumpet/cornet category and #4 in 
the male vocalist category, beating out Tony Bennett and Joe Williams of the 
Count Basie Orchestra, in a nationwide poll taken by the Mississippi Rag, one 
of the nation's foremost jazz publications.

Bob occasionally can also be heard nationally on the "Live At The Riverwalk" 
jazz program on NPR. 

In addition to leading his own band in San Francisco, and performing with top 
jazz bands in California, Bob continues to perform as a headliner and special 
guest artist at jazz festivals internationally on a weekly basis.

age 16 with top name bands.

Schulz, as his mentor and band director for his entire school life from Junior High 
School through his departure from high school.
