As an arranger, Cam honed his skills over the years through studies with John Fedchock, Christopher Zuar, John Allmark, and Greg Hopkins, as well as through a past mentorship with Grammy Award-winning arranger Steven Feifke, who recorded one of Cam’s big band arrangements. Cameron leads his own ensemble, The Cameron Shave Jazz Orchestra, which recently performed a set of original arrangements at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Dizzy’s Club, closing for the Juilliard Jazz Orchestra. His band has performed at numerous venues throughout New York City and the Greater Boston area. Cam also arranges and directs his Septet (The Cameron Shave Septet), a sell-out Holiday show (The Cameron Shave Holiday Big Band Bash), and jazz combo groups/cover bands of various sizes. Cameron was commissioned by the great Jon Faddis to arrange and orchestrate the music of Louis Armstrong for a "Pops Birthday Celebration" held at the Louis Armstrong House Museum.

Cameron’s performance resume is impressive. He has taken the stage as a guest artist with the Boston Pops at Symphony Hall, wowed audiences at the NAMM Show Main Stage in Anaheim, California, and performed as a sideman in the Philadelphia Summer Jazz Series, organized by the great trumpeter Terell Stafford at Temple University. He was also featured as a guest performer at the Provincetown Jazz Festival and has performed, led, and arranged for high-profile events hosted by the Celebrity Series of Boston.

As an educator, Cam strongly believes in jazz education. He teaches private trumpet, piano, and jazz improvisation lessons in the Greater Boston Area and actively works with local high school jazz bands as a clinician. His educational philosophy emphasizes ear training, ensemble communication, and the historical roots of the music—all with the goal of inspiring a deeper, lifelong connection to jazz in younger musicians. This commitment includes being a teaching assistant at the Berklee Summer Brass Program for four years and teacher at the Foxboro Jazz Improvisation Workshop. Cam hopes to give all he has learned to the next generation to keep the art form alive — and swingin’.
