Paul Shaffer & The World's Most Dangerous Band

Paul Shaffer & The World's Most Dangerous Band

Paul Shaffer & The World's Most Dangerous Band Paul Shaffer & The World's Most Dangerous Band
 
 





Paul Shaffer formed what soon became dubbed The World's Most Dangerous Band back in 1982 and, for over three decades, they ruled the late night musical landscape. After a 24-year gap since their first album, The World's Most Dangerous Party produced by Todd Rundgren, the eponymous PAUL SHAFFER & THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS BAND features appearances by an all-star pan-demographic lineup including guest vocalists Dion, Jenny Lewis, Bill Murray, Darius Rucker, Shaggy, and Valerie Simpson. Shaffer and bandmates Will Lee and Felicia Collins round out the lead vocal duties.

Shaffer played keyboards in the "Saturday Night Live" house band during the show's paradigm-shifting first five seasons (becoming a featured on-camera player as well, e.g. his iconic impression of rock impresario Don Kirshner) before forming what Letterman soon named The World's Most Dangerous Band in 1982 when he became musical director and sidekick on "Late Night With David Letterman." After more than a decade on NBC, Shaffer and the band departed for CBS for a new show ("Late Show With David Letterman." Although the band changed their name to "The CBS Orchestra" (NBC claimed ownership of the former name), the core lineup remained the same, adding Collins on guitar and a horn section.

All in all, Shaffer and the group spent over three decades living up to the band's original name as they played to millions of television viewers five nights a week. Now, for the first time in 25 years, Shaffer and the band have re-claimed the moniker of The World's Most Dangerous Band, recorded their first album together in 24 years, and will be embarking on a North American  this spring in support of the release. Joining Shaffer are Collins (guitar), Anton Fig (drums), Lee (bass), and Sid McGinnis (guitar), with Tom Malone, Frank Greene, and Aaron Heick (horns).
