Artie Shaw (Clarinet in jazz)

My dear departed dad was obsessed with this guy back in the 40s and 50s...I never really got it as a kid, but as Ive grown up I can really appreciate just how goddam good these jazz musicians back then were. Today's popular music is dumb-downed crap in comparison.

[@jonveurink7195]

I'm a trombonist but listening to jazz clarinet, especially Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman, has greatly helped me improve the fluidity of my slide technique. Plus it is simply one of the coolest sounds I've ever heard. If you want to develope a schmaltzy sound and slide technique, you should definitely listen to and try to emulate the sounds of the great jazz clarinetists of the '40s. Back then they knew what it meant to be musicians and what the music meant to them. If only jazz were as insanely popular now as it was then. It's an important part of U.S. history that needs reviving. Do your part and download a jazz album the next time your on iTunes!

[@brucekuehn4031]

Don't forget Woody Herman also. Another clarinetist that fronted a band and played a long, long time.

Hi,My dad James "Red" Borland played with Big small,jazz,casual bands. Worked w bands of Wingy Manone,Freddy Martin,Orrin Tucker,Russ Morgan,Stan Kenton, Will Osborne,Frankie Carle,George Liberace. He also worked with the jazz bands led by Nappy Lamare, Pete Bellman, Freddy Morgan and Tommy Alexander. He composed,arranged,sang,traveled for some time with Gene Autry's group, also doing Gene's radio program. wonder if there might be film footage of him playing with any of these musicians.

[@GMBogart]

There was NEVER anyone better.This video shows only a fraction of the tune;it's about 8minutes in its entirety and is not easily found(originally released on an EP 45) but is well worth searching for.Artie,aside from all the women he bedded in their prime,was the best (that includes Benny,though I wouldn't want to live on the difference).The film from which this song is taken is missing only Buddy,who left the band some months before. And try to get his book, "The Trouble With Cinderella".

[@StephenPHall01915]

In about 1980, I had just finished the first set, while playing sax/clarinet/keyboards, in a 6-piece show band, in a nightclub/restuaurant in Atlanta, GA, when this old guy siting at the bar, with hair died jet black, walked up to me, and another band member, and said: "I have about a 15 minute wait for dinner... are you going to play any more clarinet in the next set?" That person introduced himself as "Artie Shaw!" By the time we came back from our break he was in the dinning room, and I'm not sure if he caught me playing in the next set. 🤣

[@annanoli]

There's only so many charts a school band can play... And theres even fewer charts that have clarinet written in them. Clarinet is NOT a primary instrument in your average jazz band. And pieces that DO have clarinet written in them are usually played by a sax player.

[@TheOverlordDale]

Being perfectly honest, there is no "highest" note on clarinet. False altissimo can go all the way up three octaves past "open G." Double C is two octaves above middle-of-the-staff C. It is fingered mainly by register key, thumb-F key, first finger on the left hand, first finger RH, and the right hand "B key." It's a note that even many college clarinet majors and even many professional and semi-professional clarinetists have trouble accurately hitting every time.

[@montyfer]

[@wesm65]

@mantasparks15 It's available but it's a transcription of the studio recording( on yt - uploaded by cdbpdx) - so somewhat different than this. Artie improvises it a bit differently.

[@theGREATcoolio]

exactly what type of jazz is this? there are so many different types that I know there are specific names to each one. It has that big band-ish vibe but the orchestra (violins) are there which makes it more confusing to which is it. similar music to the big bad voodoo daddy band... but then different....

[@BigAl-is7fo]

Why does he hold the clarinet like that? He sounds great, but I was always taught that that’s generally a bad idea. Does it have certain advantages versus pointing it more downwards?

[@isabellehaahr1647]

Macho Taco I’ve learned that different ways of holding it provide a different sound. So for things such as concert band and marching and such if u want a rich clean sound a more downward pointer angle works better. But for jazz messing up the mouth position can provide a dirtier sound more align with what they were going for. I might be wrong but that’s what I’ve noticed from person experience

[@washingtonyohan1]

what a film? qual o filme? por favor!

[@TylerMazone]

Wow...the clarinet sounds so good in jazz!! Wonder why it isnt used in jazz anymore. Plus, what clarinet is artie playing? Eb or Bb?

[@old_time_fun_with_disney7881]

Modern jazz is just too modern I guess. The clarinet nor the strings fit with jazz anymore. In my school jazz band, I play alto or soprano sax in modern jazz, bossa nova, and rock pieces and I sometimes play clarinet in the small number of big band pieces we do. Also, Artie was playing a Bb clarinet. Eb clarinets are almost half the size of a Bb.

[@shelley9000]

Not a player. Just made them for 20 years. I think this vid proves that clarinets rule!!!!!!!! Long live Leblanc! The name still exists but not the heart. Or the soul.
