What a time to be alive

[@marykmusic]

Artie Shaw was a musician's musician. A gentleman who always treated his players right, he was better to work for than Goodman, who was a perfectionist and tended to scream at his guys. Between them, they had the best drummers: Shaw and Buddy Rich; Goodman and Gene Krupa. Great music!

That's mad inaccurate but okay. Shaw himself admitted to being a tyrant with a lot of his musicians who didn't do what he said. Not to mention how he treated his many wives.

Oh. My. God. In the beginning, he played an amazingly smooth glissando. Phenominal.

Wonderful video....and really snappy dressers! Even the drummer wears a jacket and tie. The musicianship of his band was out of this world. Artie Shaw and Bennie Goodman ... there will never be anyone close to their talent ever again.

The guy smiling at Artie around 1:30 just helps to make the music that much more enjoyable. It’s easier to get into something when you know that the parties involved are genuinely enjoying it.

[@josephworley628]

This is proper music, a song built up in layers with real instruments. Just like how you make a song on your computer (Garage Bands on mac) built up in layers with electronic samples. After years DJ'ing I've only recently staring to learn the clarinet, I have massive respect for anyone who can play an instrument and read music.

[@mtnentertainment3454]

Came here to be taken on a walk by Artie going absolutely bananas on the clarinet. I was not disappointed.

[@plootyluvsturtle9843]

ok but that high note slide down thing near the beginning was so casually insane

[@Sacto_Dave]

It's called a glissando which translates to slide in English.

[@grahamnichols1416]

When someone makes it look almost casual, you just know that thousands of hours of practice underpinned the whole thing. Outstanding.

Artie Shaw was both handsome and talented he had the most beautiful women in the world eating out of his hands just with his looks, his manners and his clarinet. people no longer have that much class

[@Tech502]

I could never do that in a million years. The reason I said that is because I just like to be really good at things that I love. It just hurts me, personally, when you think that your really good and then you hear something as beautiful as this... for me it's like a deep blow to my pride. I don't know if you've ever encountered this deliemma.

[@willwoodhouse]

My friend from school (Jake Hinson) now has this very clarienet (well one of Artie's from this era) and recently we went to New York and played this with him as a solo on the clarinet :)

[@noopieflace]

First time seeing it as well as hearig it. It's just as great!

[@saxybarney]

They are both outstanding players, Benny and Artie. Benny played for years with the Boston Philharmonic orchestra, and you can hear he was classical trained. Artie is a little more adventurous and done things on the clarinet, Benny would not have done. Comes down to personal preference. Love them both in their own right. Fabulous musicians.

[@gangstakittie7699]

Yeah. I personally hate it when you can hear classical being mixed in to jazz, which is why artie is for me. Fun fact, artie was actually much better at classical than benny, which surprised me...but I guess if you listen to the end of these foolish things, I guess its true.

[@hugogonzalez6599]

Artie Shaw fué una de las mejores representaciones de la música inolvidable de ésa época. Hugonlerz

[@TheOverlordDale]

Ask any person today, and the majority will tell you they do not like jazz. They think it's boring, because they think of the modern, free jazz variety. Then let them listen to this or Benny Goodman. They'll dig it. This jazz is a true art form, and is America's greatest musical contribution to the world.

[@Janeair41....]

Fantabulous, and the string quartet is even tapping to the beat.🎵

[@walt1896]

Drummer is NF "Nick Fatool" Fatool first played professionally in Providence, Rhode Island, which he followed with time in Joe Haymes's band in 1937 and Don Beston's in Dallas soon after. In 1939 he played with Bobby Hackett briefly, and then became a member of the Benny Goodman Orchestra. He became one of the most visible drummers of the 1940s, playing with Artie Shaw (1940-41), Alvino Rey (1942-43), Claude Thornhill, Les Brown, and Jan Savitt. In 1943 he moved to Los Angeles and took work as a session musician, recording profusely.

@FlinckJanne1981 The clarinet has a has an approximately cylindrical bore, is made out of wood, uses a slightly larger reed, larger mouthpiece, and uses a different fingering system than the sax. The soprano sax has a conical bore, and is made out of brass, which makes it sound different. Also, the clarinet overblows at the 12th, not the octave like the saxophone.

[@edludwig1337]

Studio recording an awesome jam!

[@twodoorcinema123]

Im just learning clarinet and this is AMAZING! only in my dreams, artie is a clarinet god

[@Gxyz222]

I like him even more so than Benny Goodman. Though Mr. Goodman's sound was amazing at times, he didn't quite challenge himself quite like Arthur Arshawski did, and almost non of Artie's songs sounded the sames, even as he got older and later abandoned music.

[@pattygoody]

[@jamesdimasi5050]

Interestingly Shaw was born in May 1910 whereas his great rival Goodman was born in May 1909. Boy was a benevolent 12 months to have produced two of the greatest instrumentalists in the calvacades of music.

I have to agree about Henry, I think he was very underrated and an incredible clarinetist. He was nice to work with, a great gentleman.

[@aporia23]

Witnessed a fine performance of this last night by the University of Birmingham Big Band - a 22 piece ensemble consisting of at least as many astrophysicists and mathematicians as music students (though you'd never guess it). The soloist was superb, with a wonderfully liquid tone throughout, but, alas, that final ridiculously high note proved too much for them, and after three fluffed attempts at it, they conceded defeat. Still got a massive round of applause though.
