Dr. Jesse R. McGuire, Sr. - Biography
Jesse Robert McGuire was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He began playing the trumpet at age nine, and continued through high school. While attending Willow Run High School, in Ypsilanti, Michigan, Jesse won many local, regional, and national music awards, and in June of 1976, he served as trumpeter and vocalist in the statewide tour of "The Sounds of 76," a production of the celebration of our nation''s bicentennial, originating at the Interlochen Arts Academy, in northern Michigan. Only 120 students were selected from 6,000 applicants, and a full week of statewide auditions, and of those 120 students, Jesse McGuire was the only African American male.
At age fifteen, during his sophomore year in high school, Jesse was offered a position in the "Isaac Hayes Movement" from Grammy-Award winning soul singer Isaac Hayes. During his junior year in high school, Jesse was selected "All American" and was inducted into "Who''s Who, Among Music Students in American High Schools." This, and other awards are still on display at Willow Run High School. After graduating with honors, Jesse was offered various music scholarships to attend noted institutions, such as Grand Valley State College, and Eastern Michigan University, to continue his studies in music.
Choosing instead to attend Washtenaw College in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Jesse studied under renowned Jazz master, Dr. Morris J. Lawrence, Jr., Professor of Music at Washtenaw College, and the University Of Michigan School Of Music. While under the guidance of Dr. Lawrence, Jesse was featured at two of the largest collegiate Jazz festivals in the country, the first being the Governor''s State Jazz Festival (Chicago, IL), where Jesse won top honors, receiving the "Best Trumpet Award." Later that evening Jesse performed with Jazz greats Bunky Green, and Ernie Wilkins. One year later, Jesse performed at the Notre Dame University Jazz Festival (South Bend, IN), where he received top honors as "Most Outstanding Soloist," and he was later invited to perform with the adjudicators of the event, Philly Joe Jones, Buddy DeFranco, Nat Adderly, Ron Carter, and Joe Sample. Both awards are still on display at Washtenaw Community College.
Jesse was later featured as a soloist at Carnegie Hall, in October of 1989, as an alumnus with the Washtenaw College Jazz Orchestra. While attending Washtenaw College, Jesse was one of the original founding members of the Afromusicology Society, an educational organization that conducted lectures, and performed live demonstrations of the history of Afro-American music, both nationally, and internationally. After attending Washtenaw College, Jesse was accepted into Eastern Michigan University, as a pre-law major, but later declined the offer to attend, to pursue a career in Gospel music.
Jesse has performed for three Presidents of The United States of America. On April 30, 2002, Jesse performed the National Anthem at the largest Democratic fundraiser in the history of the state of Arizona, where President Bill Clinton stood five feet away, and was in absolute awe of his stirring rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. In October 2002, Jesse played his stirring version of the National Anthem for President George W. Bush at a Republican fundraiser for Republican gubernatorial candidate Matt Salmon. Jesse was featured a soloist during a performance for the President Ronald Reagan, in May of 1987, during a campaign stop for the incumbent Wayne County Executive, and Republican Gubernatorial Candidate, William Lucas. Lucas was campaigning to become the first elected African American governor (Michigan) in U.S. history, and President Ronald Reagan was assisting in the campaign.
