Don Shirley
Donald Walbridge Shirley (January 29, 1927April 6, 2013) was an American-Jamaican jazz pianist and composer.
Shirley's prodigious piano skills were recognized early and he began his career as a composer and virtuoso performer at a young age.〔
Don Shirley's music is hard to categorize. As an arranger-composer he treated each piece of music as a new composition, not just an arrangement. Shirley played standards in a non-standard way. He was a virtuoso, playing everything from show tunes, to ballads, to his personal arrangements of Negro spirituals, to jazz, and always with the overtone of a classically trained musician who has utmost respect for the music he is playing.〔
==Early life==
Shirley was born on January 29, 1927, in Pensacola, Florida.〔(allmusic Biography )〕 His first teacher was his mother. He began playing piano at age of 2½ and made his first public performance at the age of 3. At the age of nine he was invited to study theory with Mittolovski at the Leningrad Conservatory of Music, and he later studied with organist Conrad Bernier and studied advanced composition with both Bernier and Dr. Thaddeus Jones at Catholic University of America in Washington D. C.
