STARDUST ARTIE SHAW

[wanawara111]

Арти - гений кларнета и свинга. Меня всегда убивает звучание его оркестра. До сих пор не могу понять, кого же я больше люблю: Арти или Бени Гутмана.. Как говорится живу до сих пор в раздрае между этими гениями.

[chrkeenan]

proof to a band teacher who refused to let me in Jazz band because he thinks clarinets aren't jazz instruments. -_-

[ThePigman1133]

@chrkeenan He is no band teacher

[RobynHode8]

What a clarinet!

[abupico]

Hola !! sigo repitiendo , muchas gracias !! por estas grandezas musicales , que nadie lo podrar negar , chau

[929Jimdude]

I play my clarinet almost everyday. It is sooo much fun.

[megadiane001]

grew up listening to this thanks

nostalgic and still easy to listen to. Tedwill 84

[diamondclaire007]

I love this song...I remember playing this in my middle-school orchestra. Thanks for sharing this all time classic!

David Murkowski, Kent County Probate Judge, Mich.-should be ashamed of themselves for being so insensitive to people's feelings; they should take up another vocation.]

We purchased the Dixie Pavilion between Wayland and Bradley, Mich.; the pavilion had 5000 sq ft of harwood dance floor; it was destroyed by the Kent County Probate Court with the acknowledgement of the Wayland Twp. officials--what a shame that courts have nothing better to do than destroy assets which bring a lot of joy and pleasure to so many.

[MARINERO154]

Pena penita, esto ya no se hace ni se toca.Han desaparecido  musicos de esta talla

[wesm65]

Godd ole Artie - they certainly don't make them the way they used to! One of his greatest solos imho! This 1939 band was his hottest - pure swing magic.

[MrReginaldobc]

Pena não ter nascido nessa época tão maravilhosa! Música maravilhosa!!

[mk181818]

This is part of the culture that once was in existence and called MUSIC American MUSIC.

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

@mk181818 It's still around, you just need to look.

[travelomania]

This kind of music gets into my head and I end up singing and dancing all over the place in any part of the world!

[ThinkingThinable]

I think I just found a reason to pick my Clarinet back up. :^)

[IMASIANSNIPA]

This is why I played clarinet :3 It's too bad I'm classical trained and have no experience in Jazz T^T

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

@IMASIANSNIPA This is why i started clarinet, but actual life experience has been better for me on bass.

[IMASIANSNIPA]

@GONEmypurpleflapjack bass cnet?

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

@IMASIANSNIPA Yes.

[paulostroff99]

Awesome.TY djmane1for posting.

[MrReloboy]

ahh the memories my mother and father or I should say me Mudda N Fadda would hum or sing to these great old tunes sometimes when pop didn't know he was being watched he would even give her a spin around the dance floor (living room). Pop was okay but mom man she could really sing. Thanks for the post

[fearlissimo]

A lovely performance but Shaw sacrifices the real feel of the melody in order to make it swing. If you listen to HC playing it himself you can hear this was written as a ballad not a swing tune.

[GameGlitcher94]

Description -king of the clarinets... id say Acker bilk was probably better than him, but still very talented indeed

[KentuckyJet]

I hear Artie on Sirius radio- 40s on 4 all the time. I love his work!

[Danielboye66]

Artie Shaw was a good friend of mine, not a close friend but, a good one. Rest in Peace Artie.I miss you.

[AlexanderVankan]

Beautiful music !

[Lindomevillage]

Love this kind of music

[caponsacchi]

Very different from the classic version that was one of Artie's 3-4 biggest hits (behind "Begin the Beguine" and "Frenesi"). But Artie hated repetition and complacency. Also, I think Hoagy originally conceived of the tune as a swinger.

[Kievest]

Smooth as silk virtuosity, cool, elegant, lush orchestration of a modern masterpiece!

Thank you for posting this timeless romantic hymn and to paulostroff99 for graciously sharing! Glorious music!

[seanjjj]

Just thinking that this music was replaced by Justin Bieber and such of make me sick...

[elainebmack]

@seanjjj Oh YES! The mess that passes for music this days is not worth a you-know-what!

[Fedymosca]

Maravilha, puro romance e bom gosto, beleza pura.

[paulostroff99]

TY dj for posting.

[Nye52]

We can I find the music of this version?

[HiVybe]

...yo Keegan, one back at you over there in the great beyond, (did I ever thank you?)...

[buffalobob]

My mother had a beautiful music box that played the main theme of stardust. I remember it well. Emerald green, with a soft satin cover. When you opened it, a girl twirled and Stardust played. Sweet memories.

[Corrie121]

Artie Shaw may have been a temperamental gentleman, but his artistry more than made up for any failings. This is magical.

Thank you for sharing.

[lucmanty]

Egregio Benko' , ascolta come si suonava tanti anni fa'!!!

[OldDogNewTrick]

I am 70 years old.

This song has been with me all my life.

(in many different versions)

[Iloveswing100]

If you listen closley to this you can hear people talking, dancing, and just enjoynig themself. Artie Shaw was the best there is. He was the king of the clarinet and his band was smooth and jazzy . What it must have been like to watch them in person and grab your significant other and swing around the Dance floor to this !

[wanawara111]

Блестящая музыка и такой же орккестр.

[weedmactep]

@jazzgent  cheers!

[martingb66]

I didn't even exsist then cause my grand parents were tenagers! Lol!



[redblugreenjello]

so raw his touch..on the lips.. wow there's nascent bebop in the somewhere.

[lauraandcalin]

I've just listed some Artie Shaw and other swing clarinet sheet music on Etsy.

[redshark618]

Stardust, Moonglow, and Moonlight Serenade

Shaw, Goodman, and Miller

the greatest

[StopTheMoti0n]

I may be a bass player, but Artie is still my hero..

[Ms1topcat]

this for old man you and john

[QFIhawkman]

I see David Bowie, wearing a Fedora, sipping gin from a glass.

[patjack1956]

No one plays this beautiful melody better than the genius of the clarinet, Artie Shaw.

[bdcochran01]

Yes, this was my parents' music. Now it is mine. I dance every week to the recorded big band music or current renditions.

[oldstuffhaus]

If you love that 1940's 3 step, skip, slide dancing this is the band , song arrangement and all around feel good sound. It may sound weird but my mother taught me how to dance when I was 7. Her logic was, "Girls just love to dance". Well Mom, you sure knew what you were talking about .In my 71 years it proved to be a wonderful asset . I 'm dancing with the same gal now 47 years who taught me there was more than a 3 step in life. Men are late learners!!

[joanogiff]

@oldstuffhaus Your comment made me well up with tears! How wonderful to have someone to love for that many years!

[Crewdawgsniece]

I absolutely love jazz.... I'm a clarinet player and Artie Shaw is my hero... he is absolutely amazing and most people blow him off and only look at players like Benny Goodman (not that he isn't amazing also). It's sad that music like this doesnt get played any more... thanks so much for posting the good stuff ;)

[clarinettistwalt]

This is incredible jazz swing and competes with the greats - Basie and Goodman - Artie can play superbly on the highest clarinet notes. Thanks for sharing a truly wonderful recording and what a superb ending !

[atpcfi]

I love this version of Star Dust by Artie Shaw

[ken38urb]

The loss of this music is one of the tragedies of our time. It became too costly to transport 30 people,house and feed them [from what I've read] but the artistic loss is astounding. I can listen and recall the 40's all over-war years,hard midwest winters,poor working class Americans with great spirit and optimism. We have fallen so far and people have changed to mindlessness .who rap instead of sing.

[powerkor]

artie - hit the road, yer fired!

[pataphysician66]

I am of the punk and psychedelic generation- but I love Artie Shaw and Big Band! During the Disco era- I hated Disco and listened to nothing but Jazz and Swing. I love both punk and Swing!

[plafkinfarms]

Arti Shaw and Benny Goodman--two nice Jewish boys who gave the world some beautiful music memories.

Roger Plafkin

[alexinanutshell]

Maybe I wasn't introduced to this music by the most convential of methods... a video game called Bioshock 2, but I must say, I love Artie Shaw, shame it took me so long to find him. :I

[chickrepellant24124]

I didn't think it was possible for a metal guy like myself to ever love music like this so much. Artie Shaw is a genius. I've now come to love jazz and swing :D

[FatManDoubleZero]

Artie Shaw is my favorite B flat clarinetist of all time. There are a lot of great clarinet players such as Eddie Daniels, Bennie Goodman and others, but no one can match the extraordinary sound Artie produced on his clarinet. Hard to believe that he was "self taught" on the clarinet and sax. What a genius. Swing music from the 1930's and 40's was the greatest ever produced. The artists had "real talent" and skill. Not like much of the crap that is produced today.

[patjack1956]

No one does it better. Artie Shaw's music is as meaningful today as it was in the 1930s.

[crawlinblind]

Turning 50 now and have much of the same memories of my parents going to ( The Crystal Ballroom ) Near our hometown and coming home on Cloud nine. What a time for Music and fun after a war that actually had an end ?! PEACE YA'LL !

[newlan21ds]

Brought me to tears as I could see my Dad playing this in his Sax days. He was originaly with Jack Harts band between the wars. Bes music ever



[patjack1956]

So beautiful, Artie Show, nobody does it better, thanks for sharing.

[cushtichavi]

Love this guy and his music is sublime. Its just the best. Just watched the Soundie of LADY BE GOOD...Wow he rocked ..well jiitterbugged.

[douskara]

That is true ARTie!!!!!!!!!

[jgfajardo]

Ouvir uma melodia assim remete-me a uma época musicalmente superior, elevada e sublime. Bem distante do que hoje se faz.

[stacycentral]

Shaw -- always artistic, always well timed, always balanced -- just always

[B17EFlyingFortress]

I wish entertainment today was clean, just like the old days...

[226bike]

My favorite Artie Shaw tune!

[rdadal]

Why isn't this popular? People have been dumbed down. Today, it does not take much for a band to produce something the young generation will glom on to.

[joevet66]

What was the Magic of this Generation to have left us such great music that never seems to get old, growing up in the 50's I heard my father play these recording and they still sound new to me!

[MrCJRA10]

no argument about that.never herd that version before,well done keep up the good work.

[krob57]

people like artie shaw are one in 10 billion

[ukcatfan36]

This is great--this is the same band that recorded Begin the Beguine..awesome live sound..great sole by Artie!!

[qedprigmosynois]

@hotuser2

i think the earliest popular recording of this song was around 1930, but i think this one was about 1940

[Rezninja1]

Got to love the 40's song from a game called Fallout 3.........Love how all the instruments plays together, you just want to go....*dancing*

[Miltonbryan93]

@Rezninja1

that video game actually got me into this kind of music!

[SlimSymes]

Artie Shaw gave up swinging through dixieland when he had Lena Horne singing for him.maybe thats why Swing and Be Bop never played at the grand ole opry!

[chas63]

This is the only version I know of that swings like it does. All other versions of Stardust are pretty much slow ballads.

[panzersRULE]

What year was this version made?

[joevet66]

We may get old, but the music never dose!

[panzersRULE]

This song makes me feel great!

[hotuser2]

Do you know in which year this version was recorded? maybe 1949?

It is not the well known 1940 version.

[chas63]

@hotuser2 This was recorded in the winter of 1938/39 in NYC during his tenure at the Blue Room, Hotel Lincoln. There are 2 cd's of those air tests on the Hindsight label. There is also a double LP of the same recordings. If you listen closely you can hear the ambient dancehall sounds (people talking, plates and glasses, etc.) the quality of the recordings are quite good for the era.

[panzersRULE]

@chas63 oh wow i heard it that's pretty sick

[helioargento]

very good

[PJCoan]

I think Artie Shaw's version of this classic is wonderful. I loved Atrie's interpretations of music, but hated him for how he treated women. He was a talented musician, but a sadist when it came to his wives.

[weedmactep]

i am 23. I use d to play the clarinet. But Our generation would never have what u guys had. I admit this but most of the youngsters do not. Sorry. They are just little idiots who stare at the telly for hours and hours, wathcing the MTV rubbish, face breasts and etc. I personally do not. I love the jazz i just love the music. It talks. Best regards from Bulgaria

[panzersRULE]

@weedmactep Excuse me? I'm 14, and I disapprove of what my friends do, and rather spend my time listening to this music! Don't overgeneralize!

[105916]

@panzersRULE, same here!

[jazzgent]

@weedmactep Yours comments are very good. You are very observant about the young today.

[stoner412]

Beautiful chromed out gas guzzlers, freshly mowed green lawn with a white picket fence and a golden retreiver waggin its tail. Classy women wearing a shiny dress, a slick guy wearing a 3 peice with his hair combed right back.

:(

And people wonder why this generation of kids are so screwy. Compare our world to yours its enough to make you cry.

Tiny apartments, lame hatchbacks, sleazy guys and sluttly girls. where is the class?

Sorry to rant but these songs allways invoke these feelings.

[panzersRULE]

@stoner412 I wish I lived in the '30s, and my friends make fun of me for that.

[avril2]

Terrific, and I don't really like the clarinet!

[slotte88]

I agree with you newjean....I can see my parents loving arms around each other just dancing. I wish I could return and have what they shared with each other. The instrumentals in life during that time were tremendous. Wish I could return or be able to dance the same.

[njchrissiface]

Artie made playing the clarinet sexy.

[dallyx66]

What a brilliant solo!

[Super8StrikesBack]

I have just recently taken up the Clarinet and boy do I love it!

[BigBandHeaven]

There are so many versions of this great song but I think this is one of the very very best.

[czzham]

Who's the tenor player? He reminds me of Chu Berry, but with a fuller tone.

[patoman881]

This recording is from a radio broadcast in late 1938 or early 1939 if I am not mistaken-different from his later version from 1940-it's hard for me to pick a favorite:-)

[louie950]

This song is like........candy for your ears...(:

[berriganfan]

What a musician and player, but this is a little to jazzy for me every now and the i loose the melody, I love the riffing but only great ones do in with out loosing their way. To me the difference between big band swing and jazz

[newjean2000]

This real "feel good" music from my parent's generation that I grew up listening to.....I love it and I can close my eyes and see my Mom and Dad dancing to this.  Thanks for the memories.

[hammeron39]

@newjean2000 reminds me of my old friend Boyd Senter from Mio Michigan whirling his beautiful wife Iowne in thier music room , miss you Boyd , Iowne , russell bradford banks on FB

[luvtrns4evr]

Too bad this great music is not popular anymore because it is so wonderful. Big band music was the best. Thx. for posting

[GeneralRazor]

@luvtrns4evr it honestly should make a huge comeback but people only wanna hear Lady Gaga now

[Shatallion]

@luvtrns4evr Aw just because the radio doesn't appreciate it doesn't mean it's not polular. :)

[dog1701]

@luvtrns4evr You might be surprised at how many young people like this music

[kevinherbert]

@luvtrns4evr : but it is popular with anyone who hears it...this will be enjoyed in 200 years & beyond...timeless

[hammeron39]

@luvtrns4evr Im 55 , and I love it in fact , I grew up in Mio Michigan , and was a close friend to Boyd Senter, on this playlist , nothing beats Big Band , nothing , it was a special moment in time , . . .

[af021906]

@hammeron39 I was born in Argentina, but I feel this music as if it had been mine, such an elegance, that is not find in these days....

[quefarsa]

gracias poe esto, el jazz es maravilloso.

[hotchickfv]

you hear people socializing in the backround haha

love this song!

[margosacco]

Just love jazz. Artie Shaw was a great musician.

[jazz0685]

I love the way he played the clarinet. Sorry I removed 2 comments. I didn't like the way I wrote them. My parents had his records and we listened to them all the time in the 70s when were kids. I love this recording. Thanks so much!

[sissydeeda]

Another wonderful song from the past, and it revives happy memories. Oh, those were the days.....

[joomuck]

Nobody does the instrumental better than the 1938 version by Artie Shaw. The best vocal is by Nat King Cole; the both of them made Hogey Carmicheal as happy as any of us.

[optiguytomgmail]

Is that the one with the beautiful Billy Butterfield solo? Yep.... it rocks!

[123BubberMiley]

Louis Armstrong did a good version too. they're all good i guess,lol.

[jeanserge21]

For me the best vocal version is the one with Edythe Wright singing in Tommy Dorsey band. You can find it in youtube (looking with Edith Wright)

[8cccpeevostokzempf]

Be better if she'd hit Hoagy's notes instead of re-composing off on her own.

[jazzflutist]

Pure gold.

[empirecarpetsux]

Is that RED BORLAND on trumpet???

[knighterrantfilms]

He was always asked which one was better, Ava or Lana!!

[Artie1943]

Artie Shaw the best i remember my folks playing all his music this guy was a real operator for sure i have all his music just plain good stuff.

A

[justplaincarla]

What talent--what artistry--what inspiration.

If I may borrow a line from M.C. Hammer--

'can't touch...'.

[nottubee]

I didn't want to 'touch it'. Thanks for tainting this page with that mention. You should be asked to leave. No, I'm kidding.:) I was the drummer for a certain 'blue eyed' crooner for many years. This music will never die.

Enjoy your day.

[looktookertwo]

No wonder Ava Garner and Lana Turner couldn't resist him.......Yikes!

[cicero3]

A great swinging version. Arties high register is immaculate. Many thanks.
