From Wikipedia: A self-proclaimed "very difficult man", Shaw was married eight times He apparently also studied advanced mathematics. And his comment "the map is not the territory!" His range of sincere interested seems unbounded. I love his idea that the idea of a #1 hit makes no sense -- art cannot be measured on a scale. There's individual preferences -- you can have a favorite poet. But there is no #1 poem or #1 poet. He apparently was very familiar with Tupak Shakur. Amazing. He also made some of the most beautiful and haunting music of all time.

Artie was a driven perfectionist. A self-proclaimed very difficult man. He probably was not a very happy man. He would put down other bandleaders (Goodman, James, Miller) for instance. "Goodman played the clarinet; I played music" * "James was too "schmaltzy" & Miller was "too careful; played the same stuff over and over". I personally appreciated Shaw's work very much but I'm glad not to have his personal misery.

I notice Mr Goodman didn’t bother sniping at him as far as I’m aware. It seems reasonable to suggest Mr Shaw spent more time worrying about comparing the two than Goodman did. He seems to snarl for the sake of snarling which is sad. Goodman spent a lot of years supporting a large family, married once and had daughters who loved him? Compare that to the poor Shaw.

No doubt Shaw had a grating personality, but he was also known as a bandleader who was very fair particularly money-wise with the musicians who worked for him, unlike Goodman. Furthermore, I love Benny but no way did he "play circles" around Shaw. Many modern musicians view Shaw as far more influential and interesting harmonically, including Phil Woods, Jerome Richardson, Cannonball Adderley, and others.

Remember hearing Artie Shaw's version of "How Deep is the Ocean" as a young boy - it really had an impression on me as someone learning to play the clarinet (and still does). At school, in music class, was asked by a fellow clarinet player, who sounds nicer in my opinion (Artie vs Benny). No offense to Benny (beautiful virtuoso in his own right), Artie just sounds WAY nicer to my ears. Artie, quite way too soon; he felt pigeon-holed and unable to express his own ideas much more broadly on the clarinet. Sure he wrote, but people remember him as the virtuoso clarinet player he was - his gorgeous sound and range, IMO, has still not been equaled.

Can’t imagine living with this man. He wasn’t satisfied with himself and, tho he married many beautiful women, I believe they all left him. I imagine he treated them as prize to have won and not necessarily try any longer. He once said to Johnny Carson when asked about how many times he had been married, “You know what you learn about people who marry many times? Those are people who want to be married.” I just think he wanted perfection in everything and If/when he reached it, he moved on

Yup. Those with humungous ego get what's coming to them in capitalistic business, unless they can sustain popularity and sales in such a way. I'm not sure if there's been any artist that has achieved that. When we mean the bomb, we mean what Artie Shaw cannot stand here, and that is the changes in the business. You have to be a bomb in the everchanging business to even the modern pop audiences. Shaw only appealed mainly to a few audiences which were conservative over time. Classical and jazz (not bop jazz)?

One of the greats for sure. "Stardust", "Frenesi", and "Dancing In The Dark" were just some of his greats, although I'm not a big fan of his theme "Nightmare". A little too dark/harsh. If you could take the time to technically explain the "Swing-Era", you would be able to clearly define it. Jazz from about 1935 to 1945 had a unique sound that differed from what came before and after. Easy to hear, harder to define.

Excellent pick up on your part. That was a great comment to hear...when he said it, I reflected on a guy who had started in vaudeville and early jazz and swing and had lived long enough to see the popularity of Rap. That's a long timeline. Most get caught up yappin' about whether or not that signifies musical "progress," but in true Shaw perspective, like it or not, its simply continuation and evolution. Just as you have folks who are not pleased with this evolution, you had just as many in every prior cycle of American music evolution who felt the same way.

The interviewer was intent on fawning all over Shaw, but to his credit he wasn’t about to put up with it. I could listen to him speak for an hour straight without a single question. And for the record, it was the Hutus that did all the killing in Rwanda, not the Tutsi. Also, I know that some people will say that Shaw was quote unquote opinionated. When someone has interesting things to say then I appreciate the fact that he or she is opinionated. And Artie is spot on when he points out that when an audience applauds a soloist it often obliterates the opening bars and ideas of the next soloist following his cue. I’ve thought the same thing for many years. It’s especially true on a lot of live jazz recordings where an acoustic piano has to follow a sax or trumpet solo. One last thing: When you click on the word “more” there is no more information whatsoever regarding this interview.

I agree. He was SO self-centered. The two children he did have, he didn’t want. He was angry with his wives for having them, wanting them to terminate the pregnancies. When the mother of one of his children, Betty Kern, asked him why he didn’t pay any attention to his child, he said “Why should I feel fatherly toward him? I didn’t want him in the first place!” That is just COLD.
