One of contemporary Chicago’s finest musicians is ANDY SCHUMM . Multi-instrumentalist, composer, and arranger Schumm was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he first began playing piano at the age of six. Taking up the trumpet when he was in high school, Andy would go on to study trumpet and cornet at the University of Illinois. Developing a style heavily influenced by Bix Beiderbecke, Schumm found his calling as a vintage jazz icon who frequently tours the world with various groups. After hearing Bix Beiderbecke’s sublime recording of At the Jazz Band Ball, Andy was set as a '20s musician. He began playing in Dixieland bands and discovered that he was able to get more work as a ’20s musician than as a modern player. Schumm is primarily influenced by Bix but draws inspiration from many musicians, including Red Nichols and Jelly Roll Morton as well as King Oliver, Jabbo Smith and Tommy Dorsey. He enjoys listening to Johnny Dodds, Herb Morand and other music. Andy is also an avid student of the history of jazz. Schumm heads up one of the finest vintage trad jazz bands in the world today - the Chicago Cellar Boys - where you can hear him play cornet, clarinet, and saxophone. www.andyschumm.com SPONSORED BY GREEN DIAMOND RESOURCE CO.
