Not much to see but some great history around what Shaw considered his finest recorded performance. Artie Shaw & His Orchestra with Strings, recorded for Decca Records in July, 1953. Arrangement by Bruce Campbell.

artie was a special clarinet player........

@caponsacchi In a 2001 NPR interview he said that his clarinet playing on this record is as close to perfection as one can get.

Listen to this abstract cadenza!
-
@banjocracy ∽∽ I'm afraid, Benny was too ;)
-
My old clarinet teacher once gave his opinion of Artie Shaw vs Benny Goodman: "Artie Shaw was in control of his instrument".
-
The ending candenza is totally over the top. Try writing it down on paper.

So much for the myth that Artie walked away from it all (in 1954, 50 years before his death) because he was washed up or even fading artistically (the recording was made in 1953, as shown on the video). And you have the original vinyl? Is it the Decca 1956 release called "Did You Say Party?" I know this track has been reissued (but be careful, viewers, to get the right version). Still, it's a shame the album has never been reissued. (Allmusic.com ignores it--rated "fair," with no comments.)

@caponsacchi The copy I have is on vinyl from an album released in the 80's but I think you're right that it came out on the "Did You Say Party" album. It's really something, isn't, it?!

Glad you enjoyed. I could hardly believe that as much music there is on YouTube, this version had been overlooked. The old vinyl cleaned up pretty well, except for the on blip toward the end.
