Excellent version. BUT this was recorded in 1969, Artie led the band

but that's Walter Levinsky playing the clarinet,  Artie had not played in

something like 14 years. This was the Capitol LP "Artie Shaw re-creates

His Great 1938 band" (If I have that title right.)

As as been famously stated:  Benny Goodman played the clarinet, but Artie Shaw played music

[coywin]

This is one terrific swinging rendition, and the absolute best.  Shaw was a genius.

@dancebandleader Did Walt play that late?,when did Dick Johnson take over?
