“Rich Shemaria is an ultra-high level arranger and composer and a first class friend.”

- Lenny Pickett Saxophonist (Saturday Night Live, Tower of Power)

“Rich is a superior musician. He’s written great arrangements of my tunes among many others. His charts included very original ideas as well as surprising harmonizations of my tunes.”

- John Scofield 

Rich Shemaria is one of NYC's bright stars in the arranging and composing department! He's developed his perfect stylistic personality as a writer at an early age, and has built upon that style, growing from year to year! I have many charts of his in my book, and they are among the best in my library! Simply put he's one of my favorite composer/arrangers!

-Randy Brecker trumpeter/composer/arranger/and bandleader
