Doug Beavers

about

Doug Beavers has become known for a meticulous attention to quality and his “unsurpassed work ethic” (Jim Harrington, The Concert Blog) in his music. These defining qualities have recently earned him a Grammy® award for his work on Latin legend Eddie Palmieri’s star-studded release Listen Here (2006), as well as the opportunity to perform, tour, record and collaborate with world-class musicians including Eddie Palmieri (La Perfecta II, Ritmo Caliente, Listen Here), Rosemary Clooney (Sentimental Journey, The Last Concert), Mingus Big Band, Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Arturo Sandoval, Brian Culbertson, Pete Escovedo and countless others. Doug Beavers decided to dedicate his life to music upon turning down a full scholarship to attend the University of California, Davis to study Electrical Engineering. On a chance hearing of John Coltrane’s Crescent on the radio, Beavers pulled off the road that lead to UC Davis and made a literal and figurative U-Turn. The next day, he was accepted to California State University, East Bay (formally Hayward) and would go on to earn his bachelor’s degree in music, studying classical trombone with San Francisco Opera bass trombonist Dave Ridge and jazz arranging with renown arranger Dave Eshelman. Feeling the need to expand his musical scope further, he set his sights on establishing a career in New York City. Beavers auditioned for and was admitted to the Manhattan School of Music, being accepted into the studio of jazz trombonist Conrad He
