Woody Shaw (W. Herman S. Jr.) Amerikansk trompetist, f. 21.12.1944 i Laurinburg, NC. d. 9.5.1989. Begyndte at spille trompet da han var 11 , og spillede som 18- årig med Willie Bobo og derefter med Eric Dolphy, hvis harmoniske opfattelse påvirkede ham stærkt. Opholdt sig i Paris1964-65 og spillede hér med bl.a. Johnny Griffin, Kenny Clarke og Art Taylor og spillede efter hjemkomsten med Horace Silver (The Cape Verdean Blues; Blue Note, 1965), Larry Young, Chick Corea (Tones for Joan's Bones; Atlantic, 1966), McCoy Tyner og Max Roach (1968-69). Var 1971-72 medlem af Art Blakeys Jazz Messengers (Mission Eternal; Prestige, 1972) og ledede i midten af 70'erne sammen med Louis Hayes en kvintet, der bl.a. akkompagnerede Dexter Gordon (Homecoming; CBS, 1976). Trods sygdom, misbrugsproblemer og svigtende syn havde han igennem 80'erne egne grupper med bl.a. Steve Turre og Mulgrew Miller og aver 1984-85 medlem af Paris Reunion Band. De sidste par år af sit lov var han kun sporadisk aktiv og han døde af komplikationer efter at have mistet sin ene arm ved at falde ud foran et tog i undergrundsbanen i New York. Med udgangspunkt i Lee Morgan og Freddie Hubbard absorberede Shaw påvirkninger fra Booker Little og Eric Dolphy og førte derved det typiske neobop trompetspil et skridt videre imod et rytmisk og harmonisk friere udtryk. Hans spil har siden haft betydning for bl.a. Tom Harrell og Dave Douglas, og det var primært af hans personlige problemer der var årsag til at han aldrig fik den bredere anerkendelse, som hans spils originalitet berettigede ham til.

Interview with Miles Davis laid to rest all myths about who's really playing the trumpet these days (1983). Asked about Freddie Hubbard, Miles responded, "all techniques, but no feeling". On Wynton Marsalis: "All the [young] trumpeters copy off Clifford Brown, Fats Navarro, Dizzy...". How about Woody Shaw? "Now there's a great trumpet player. He can play different from all of them"
Dexter Gordon summed up Woody Shaw's trumpet succinctly: "The thing about Woods is he's done his homework. He's hip to Louis Armstrong, plays intervals, and runs backwards so to speak. He breaks it down, plays atonal, and then comes back an plays real trumpet. Woods covers the whole spectrum". Down Beat, Linda R. Reitman Woody Shaw Linked to a legacy

"This album is dedicated to the youth who will benefit mankind. To the youth who are constantly aware of the turmoil in which the world is and who are trying to right all these wrongs - whether in music or in speech or in any other way of positive work. This album is dedicated to the freedom of Black people all over the world. And it's dedicated to the people in the ghettos here. The 'stone' in the title is the image of strength. I grew up in a ghetto - funky houses, rats and roaches, stinking hallways. I've seen people overcome all off that. This music is meant to be al light of hope, a sound of strength and of coming through. It's one for the ghetto. We're trying to express what's happening in the world today as we - a new breed of musicians - feel it. I mean the different tensions in the world, the ridiculous war in Vietnam, the oppression of poor people in this, a country of such wealth. The cats on this date usually discuss these things, but we're all trying to reach a state of spiritual enlightenment in which we're continually aware of what's happening but react in a positive way. The music in this album, you see, express strength - confidence that we'll overcome these things".
