Artie Shaw

Post by Lizard »

He,s dead.

Just thought I would get that posted before S56 did, I have not got a fuckin clue who he is/does/was, but from now on anyone who dies, no matter who, I will post it first, unless Stevie is at the hospital bed or ambulance chasing...

If you are interested, he was one of the greatest band leaders
in the era of Big Bands (1930s/1940s).

The Artie Shaw band was up there with the best of the 'white'
big bands. He played the clarinet.

He married 8 times, including being married to Ava Gardner and
Lana Turner, which can't be bad.

He was earning 30,000 dollars A WEEK in that period, which puts
some of the soccer players salaries today into perspective.

No, I think you'll find that was Cole Porter's tune.

Though Artie probably covered it.

For anyone who's interested, I'd suggest a listen to 'Concerto for Clarinet' - the man was more than just a clarinet playing bandleader!
