Workin' Like a Dog - Motivational Work Ethic T-Shirt for Men & Women | Perfect for Office, Gym & Everyday Wear

Product Description Robbie Smith is a true performer in every sense of the word, having toured all over the world with Candye Kane and the Swinging Armadillos. He has played with Blues Bands, Swing Bands, Big Bands, Jazz Ensembles, and Top 40s Groups. His trumpet playing has an exquisite quality and unique style, which will leave you wanting more! Taking inspiration from the most prominent of trumpet influences, such as Chet Baker, Clifford Brown, and Maynard Ferguson, blended with the stylistic influences of Louis Prima, Louis Jordan and Wynonie Harris. A Southern California native, Robbie currently makes his home in Long Beach and gigs steadily in the San Diego area. You can find Robbie playing with such bands as Blue Largo, Big Band Express, The Fabulous Ultratones, Jonny Viau and the Blues Allstars, The Modern Jazz Majestics, 2000 Lbs of Blues and more. Robbie considers himself a trumpet player who sings, not a singer who plays trumpet. His sound is pure, simple and perfectly executed! By Teri Conrad - Entertainment Reviewer. From the Artist Thanks! I would like to extend an extra "thank you" to the musicians, who contributed their musical talents to this CD. Special thanks to Eric Lieberman, who’s been a great friend and supporter by continually inviting me to play with his band, Blue Largo. And, my long-time friend Marty Conley, who helped get the ball rolling and continues to include me in his band, Big Band Express. To Candye Kane, thanks for taking me out and showing me the world! You encouraged me to relax and have fun by not taking things too seriously. To Sue Palmer, for your wonderful friendship and upbeat style. You are such a joy to play with! To Jonny Viau, for your continued friendship and inspiration. I love you man! Sincerest thanks to Janet Kingdom, who befriended me several years ago, and continues to show her support by joining me at various gigs. Had she not offered the use of "Kingdom Studios" none of this would have been possible.You’re a good one! A word of acknowledgement for my most prominent trumpet influences: Chet Baker, Clifford Brown, Maynard Ferguson and Les Kepics (mentor and nemesis); as well as the stylistic influences of Louis Prima, Louis Jordan, and Wynonie Harris.Personal thanks to everyone who’s offered their support throughout the years in helping me achieve this life long dream – you know who you are! email: robbie@robbietrumpet.
