Russell Shampine

Russell B. Shampine (September 26, 1931 - March 26, 2012) was an American music instructor and jazz musician based in Jacksonville, Florida. He earned a Masters of Music degree from Florida State University, and taught music for over thirty years, mostly at Paxon Junior High School in Jacksonville.

Adrian D. Holmes briefly took clarinet lessons with him at a local music store sometime around 2007 or 2008. The two rarely saw eye-to-eye on performance style; however, Holmes recognized and admired the talent Mr. Shampine had when playing the clarinet.

Holmes would often label off-the-cuff statements and comments made by Shampine as "Shampinyisms."
