Artie Shaw (born Arthur Jacob Arshawsky; May 23, 1910[1] \u2013 December 30, 2004) was an American clarinetist, composer, bandleader, actor and author of both fiction and non-fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n Widely regarded as “one of jazz’s finest clarinetists”,[3]\u00a0Shaw led one of the United States’ most popular\u00a0big bands\u00a0in the late 1930s through the early 1940s. Though he had numerous hit records, he was perhaps best known for his 1938 recording of\u00a0Cole Porter’s “Begin the Beguine.” Before the release of “Beguine,” Shaw and his fledgling band had languished in relative obscurity for over two years and, after its release, he became a major pop artist within short order. The record eventually became one of the era’s defining recordings. Musically restless, Shaw was also an early proponent of what became known much later as\u00a0Third Stream\u00a0music, which blended elements of classical and jazz forms and traditions. His music influenced other musicians, such as\u00a0Monty Norman\u00a0in England, whose “James Bond Theme” features a vamp possibly influenced by Shaw’s 1938 recording of “Nightmare”.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Artie_Shaw” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Read more at Wikipedia” button_alignment=”right” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”20px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n
