Shake Keane
Ellsworth McGranahan “Shake” Keane (30 May 1927, Kingstown, St Vincent, West Indies – 11 November 1997, Oslo, Norway) was a jazz musician and poet. He is best known today for his role as a jazz trumpeter, principally his work as a member of the ground-breaking Joe Harriott Quintet (1959–65).
==Early life in St Vincent==
Born on the Caribbean island of St Vincent into "a humble family that loved books and music",〔(Author page at House of Nehesi. )〕 Keane attended Kingstown Methodist School and St Vincent Grammar School. He was taught to play the trumpet by his father, Charles (who died when Keane was thirteen), and gave his first public recital was at age six.〔 At the age of fourteen, Keane led a musical band made up of his brothers. In the 1940s, with his mother Dorcas working to raise six children, the teenager joined one of the island’s leading bands, Ted Lawrence and His Silvertone Orchestra.〔 During his early adulthood in St Vincent, his principal interest was literature, rather than the music for which he would become better known. He had been dubbed "Shakespeare" by his school friends, on account of this love of prose and poetry. This nickname was subsequently shortened to "Shake", which name he came to use throughout his adult life. He published two books of poetry, ''L'Oubili'' (1950) and ''Ixion'' (1952), while still in St Vincent.
