Same here. In my personal life, I'm content. But I look at the times I live in and I just hate them, everything about them. The videos like this on RUclips are the only thing that make them bearable.
Artie was finest of the big band leaders in so many ways, too many ways to mention here. His most impressive achievement was that he accomplished so much while performing miraculously on the clarinet. Any professional clarinet player will tell you, the way Artie played was nothing less than MIRACULOUS !
Artie paid more than most of the big band leaders of that era and attracted the top musicians in the country. Nobody else quite like him; a real innovator who was never happy to stand still. He was always pushing the envelope. His bands were so well synchronized. Definitely several cuts above the 3-chord merchants of contemporary times.
My mom always played big band during the war, so I was programmed to love it. And, no one compares to Artie Shaw.I went to an Artie Shaw concert with my mom in 1984. He introduced each song. The band was great. They sounded like my LP records. He signed her copy of his book. "The trouble with Cinderella".
Dear Annanoli, Thank you for mentioning my Dad Les Robinson...lead alto for Shaw's band on all recordings (Begin the Beguine band) from '37-39. You're right about the high notes. Hank & my Dad blended real well on all the recordings in New York & Los Angeles. Sincerely, Gary Robinson
Artie Shaw (The "Shawman") -- One of the GREATS! Fabulous performance of a great song by Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz! Hearing this live must have been sensational. Artie Shaw performed live at the NY Paramount Theater (same location as today's Hard Rock Cafe) and at Hotel Lincoln (later known as the Milford Plaza) in NYC.
there is a hypnotic syrup that this music creates. I love to compare this to Fats and his Rhythm, or should i say, parallel them. Those brothers tore the ass out of swing music. such different approaches, and both such a great example of this countrys past
this is so beautiful and I love rock and jazz and all else ,but this is the best of the best in its purity..is so good I get thrills in my whole body everytime I watch this short,call me corny I don't care..take care
well.Lead Alto was Les Robinson. this is a matter of records.Then look at their hands on top notes. Les is always playing the higher one. I say this because i am a sax player too. Loved Hank as well,especially for the big work with aaf band
A lot of the musicans became studio musicians (movies, tv, antimated music) after the Big Band era. But, once rock started in the 60's, it became tougher for them to make a living. But, in the late 30's and early 40's, the musicians did rather well withy Shaw, Goodman, ect.
This is great. Playing is great, acoustics is great. Young Buddy Rich on drums... just wow. In fact this was at that date the best big band in the business. In 1939 Benny Goodman had lost several key stars. Duke Ellington had not yet got his excellent line up together. (I mean with Ben Webster and Jimmy Blanton) On Oh Lady Be Good from this year Artie even outswings the Basie band! The only sad thing is that Artie had this for a very short time.
I was more discussing the bands they had at that time. Although I'm not too impressed by the commercial recordings, the Artie Shaw big band in live broadcasts and on these soundies to me plays better then any other band in that year, 1939. But if we compare the players I can go along with you for a large part, except of course the most upper register. What Artie achieves there, I mean the ease and melodic logic, was never equalled. I prefer his sound as well, but that is just personal. BB
@mokacode Yes...that would be a classic scene...also, Bogie was very good at portraying heartbreak in these types of scenes - since he had first-hand experience with it in real life.
we play it with our own big band. check the post "Artie Shaw alone together by NP Big Band" thw transcription is ours. I hope yyou'll like it. leave comments,please!
From 0:58 to 1:13, it sounds like Petit Fleur :-)... Oh, oh, what would Sidney Bechet think about it? :-) But maybe, the question is, what was earlier...
Bonjour, C'est dans l'autre sens qu'il faut juger desdits faits. Cet enregistrement date de 1939 plus de dix ans avant le BECHET ne "compose" petite fleur. Celui qui a pompé, il était coutumier du fait, c'est BECHET et non l'inverse.
Grosse erreur! cet enregistrement date de 1939 BECHET ne composera PETITE FLEUR que plus de dix ans plus tard. Donc celui qui a pompé, il était coutumier du fait, c'est BECHET et non l'inverse. Ce qui ne retire rien au talent de BECHET. En JAZZ en général on finit toujours par copier quelqu'un.

Arthur Shaw. The coolest guy who ever lived. I was born in the wrong era. I really hate these times.

My favorite of all of Artie’s bands over the years.

With a rhythm section like this you'll never miss a note,even with highly syncopated charts
Music of a time we will never see again.

Mere words can't describe how incredible all of these men were and still are! Led by the ever iconic, strict yet soulful Arthur Arshawskie!

What a great memory. Thanks for sharing.
He mustve mellowed
music of today dosent come close to this masterpiece rip artie shaw you made so many people happy
Yes! The major chord at the end is the happy ending - keeps it from being too melancholy. Its genius.
Yes he had the best of everything--instrumentalists, vocalists arrangers and Artie himself.
Thats what I call "Music with class"
Buffed and refined with the unmatched flare of Artie Shaw, deserves the attention
just Amazing
This is one Schwarz and Deitz's best songs...Artie Shaw's arrangement is amazing. He recorded this on an RCA (or Bluebird) 78.
This music is timeless. When I listen, I can't tell whether I'm in 1939 or 2013.
Or 2019!
@@scotnick59 Or 2020! My God. y love Artie and his clarinet and his interpretations. I love him, the best clarinetist! in 1939 or 2020 and for ever!
Or 2022
This is so much vintage Artie Shaw.His magical clarinet and the saxophones playing here make t that way.
Wonderful ! 💕
Dear Annanoli,
Thank you for mentioning my Dad Les Robinson...lead alto for Shaw's band on all recordings (Begin the Beguine band) from '37-39. You're right about the high notes. Hank & my Dad blended real well on all the recordings in New York & Los Angeles.
Sincerely, Gary Robinson
My dad Jerry Gray was there also
Les Robinson was one of the greatest lead alto sax players of all time hands down
Les Robinson and Jerry Gray, two legends also.
I love this song so much, oozes with style; the sophsiticated best; yes. wonderful surprise to have it on youtube
Music ! Real music!! Just wonderful !!
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Artie!
Thanks, Halleys4th, for the upload!

Lou, Oh! This is just FANTASTIC indeed! The rhythm is just to die for. Thank You so much for sharing this masterpeice with me.

hmmmmmmmm Amazing Artie Shaw
brilliant.i loved it even more when Judy sung it
Замечательный оркестр и исполнители таких сейчаснет и не будет от таких импровизаций стынет кровь в жилах хотя пршло сто лет
this is so beautiful and I love rock and jazz and all else ,but this is the best of the best in its purity..is so good I get thrills in my whole body everytime I watch this short,call me corny I don't care..take care
Dit is pas muziek waar melodie in zit, geweldig.
How many miles did my darling and I dance to this? One of our favorites.
I like Hank's sax, he does some really great solos and gets to shine in Glenn miller's Army Air Force Band!
Artie`s tone is beautiful.Sounds similar to my favorite clarinet-group OK-Dreamband. CD "Clarinet-Dreams" is available for download (iTunes, amazon).
WUNDERBAR!!! WIE IN PARADIESD
whao..I think I remember my Dad had this vinyl soooo long ago...thanks!!
well.Lead Alto was Les Robinson. this is a matter of records.Then look at their hands on top notes.
Les is always playing the higher one.
I say this because i am a sax player too.
Loved Hank as well,especially for the big work with aaf band
The guitar holds it all together. He is very solid. I am not sure who played with Artie though...
A lot of the musicans became studio musicians (movies, tv, antimated music) after the Big Band era. But, once rock started in the 60's, it became tougher for them to make a living. But, in the late 30's and early 40's, the musicians did rather well withy Shaw, Goodman, ect.
I love the ending so much
What a dream! xx
so much fluidity is amazing...and Buddy Rich is not too bad either
really beautriful
This is great. Playing is great, acoustics is great. Young Buddy Rich on drums... just wow. In fact this was at that date the best big band in the business.

Saludos desde México!
@lagaviaswordfish Yes. Georgie Auld is the other tenor. One of the greats.
well. Petit fleur was composed after 1949 in France...Schwartz and Dietz introduced Alone Together in 1932.. what Sidney Bechet could have said???
we play it with our own big band. check the post "Artie Shaw alone together by NP Big Band" thw transcription is ours. I hope yyou'll like it. leave comments,please!
That's Bufddy Rich!
Один из непревзойденных оранжировщйков 19 столетия таких оркестров такого состава такой интерпретации не было и не будет
@ErnieHollerhagen Hell yeah.
I've just listed some out of print Artie Shaw and other swing clarinet sheet music on Etsy.

Artie Shaw Alone Together by NP Big Band
2:39 = petite fleure, Sidney Bechet!! Pas très créatif de la part du trompetiste mais c'est quand même excellant!....
From 0:58 to 1:13, it sounds like Petit Fleur :-)... Oh, oh, what would Sidney Bechet think about it? :-) But maybe, the question is, what was earlier...
please,friends,i'd like a comment on this version,performed by my orchestra.
That's just the melody, written in 1932 by Arthur Schwartz. Plappermäulchen.
i like your username.
Bonjour,
C'est dans l'autre sens qu'il faut juger desdits faits.
Cet enregistrement date de 1939 plus de dix ans avant le BECHET ne "compose" petite fleur.
Celui qui a pompé, il était coutumier du fait, c'est BECHET et non l'inverse.
al avola
So Smooth ! 🎶💕👏
Grosse erreur!
cet enregistrement date de 1939
BECHET ne composera PETITE FLEUR que plus de dix ans plus tard.
Donc celui qui a pompé, il était coutumier du fait, c'est BECHET et non l'inverse.
Ce qui ne retire rien au talent de BECHET.
En JAZZ en général on finit toujours par copier quelqu'un.
