Schedule of Events
Dear Friends & Naples Jazz Lovers,
I am so excited to announce a LIVE Jazz Brunch this coming Sunday July 5, 2020 from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM with Stu Shelton on keyboard & Yours Truly on trumpet, flugelhorn & vocals at the Founders Bistro 7941 Airport Pulling Rd N. Naples, FL 34109.
There will be outdoor seating with social distancing available!
Go to www.thefounders.market for menu and/or reservations.
At 7:30 PM EST, I’ve been playing a patriotic song like God Bless America followed by a jazzy song outdoors for the residents of my community (Mill Run). If you would like to hear some of those go to my website www.naplesjazzlovers.com and click on Schedule.
We miss you! Stay safe & healthy!

Dear Naples Jazz Lover,
Dear Friends & Naples Jazz Lovers,
We all have more free time than we know what to do with and as a musician, I felt it important to compose and record a song that is timely and perhaps helpful in reinforcing the guidelines that we’re all trying to follow. (“It ain’t easy, right?”)
With that in mind I composed, sang and played The Stay At Home Blues and recorded it "all by my lonesome" in my home studio.
Feel free to share it with others.
I hope and pray that this will be over soon and I’ll be able to see you and actually play live performances!
Also, every evening at 7:30 PM I play God Bless America and other inspirational songs in my backyard so residents of Mill Run can hear.
Today since it’s Easter Sunday, I’ll play Irving Berlin’s Easter Parade
Stay safe & healthy!
Bob
God Bless America
The Stay At Home Blues
Jazzy Easter Parade
Here’s another piece that I call An Improvised Soliloquy for Unaccompanied Trumpet:
Cheek To Cheek
The Way You Look Tonight
Stu and I recorded these songs at his home studio and yes we actually were able to record together while practicing “social distancing”.
We know it’s been tough on all of us with the hardship of not being able to play our music for you, so this was our heartfelt effort to remedy the situation.
Also, we chose songs that many of you have requested when attending our performances at Food & Thought. (I’ll keep you posted on when we’ll resume there and other locations.)
We are planning our next recording session so feel free to send us your requests.
Every evening at 7:30 PM EST, I’ve been playing a patriotic song like God Bless America followed by a jazzy song outdoors for the residents of my community (Mill Run). If you would like to hear some of those go to my website www.naplesjazzlovers.com and click on Schedule.
Stay safe & healthy!
Bob
