======================
I think the problem people find with Shavers is that he doesn't follow 
the rules, he's a jazz maverick. His earliest recordings show a Frankie 
Newton influence, then he found that he could play anything that came 
into his head, and that's the Shavers most listeners know.

Like Barney Bigard and Charlie Ventura, he was an irrepressible performer.
