Biography

Robert Coleman Shevak (15 Oct 1918 – 7 Jun 1985), better known as Iggy Shevak, was an American jazz musician who played string bass with several leading jazz figures in the 1940s and 1950s. Shevak is also credited on recordings as Robert Shevak, Bob Shevak, Roger Shevak, Iggy Shevack, and as Richard Shevak. After playing in bands in New York in the late 1930s and early 1940s, Shevak moved to Los Angeles in the late 1940s. Shevak was married to the singer Betty Bennett, who later joined him in Claude Thornhill's band before they both moved on to join Alvino Rey's band.
