About Alan Shulman
- Alan Shulman (4 June 1915 – 10 July 2002) was an American composer and cellist.
- He wrote a considerable amount of symphonic music, chamber music, and jazz music.
- Trumpeter Eddie Bailey said, "Alan had the greatest ear of any musician I ever came across.
- He had better than perfect pitch.
- I've simply never met anyone like him." Some of his more well known works include his 1940 Neo-Classical Theme and Variations for Viola and Piano and his A Laurentian Overture, which was premiered by the New York Philharmonic in 1952 under the baton of Guido Cantelli.
- Also of note is his 1948 Concerto for Cello and Orchestra which was also premiered by the New York Philharmonic with cellist Leonard Rose and conductor Dmitri Mitropoulos.
- Many of Shulman's works have been recorded, and the violinist Jascha Heifetz and jazz clarinetist Artie Shaw have been particular exponents of his work both in performance and on recordings.
