Artie Shaw was a musician's musician. A gentleman who always treated his players right, he was better to work for than Goodman, who was a perfectionist and tended to scream at his guys. Between them, they had the best drummers: Shaw and Buddy Rich; Goodman and Gene Krupa. Great music!
Wonderful video....and really snappy dressers! Even the drummer wears a jacket and tie. The musicianship of his band was out of this world. Artie Shaw and Bennie Goodman ... there will never be anyone close to their talent ever again.
The guy smiling at Artie around 1:30 just helps to make the music that much more enjoyable. It’s easier to get into something when you know that the parties involved are genuinely enjoying it.
This is proper music, a song built up in layers with real instruments. Just like how you make a song on your computer (Garage Bands on mac) built up in layers with electronic samples. After years DJ'ing I've only recently staring to learn the clarinet, I have massive respect for anyone who can play an instrument and read music.
The whole concerto is 12-15 minutes long. They must have had to cut it down to make it fit into the movie. Gotta have time for Fred to dance doncha know.
I could never do that in a million years. The reason I said that is because I just like to be really good at things that I love. It just hurts me, personally, when you think that your really good and then you hear something as beautiful as this... for me it's like a deep blow to my pride. I don't know if you've ever encountered this deliemma.
They are both outstanding players, Benny and Artie. Benny played for years with the Boston Philharmonic orchestra, and you can hear he was classical trained. Artie is a little more adventurous and done things on the clarinet, Benny would not have done. Comes down to personal preference. Love them both in their own right. Fabulous musicians.
Yeah. I personally hate it when you can hear classical being mixed in to jazz, which is why artie is for me. Fun fact, artie was actually much better at classical than benny, which surprised me...but I guess if you listen to the end of these foolish things, I guess its true.
Drummer is NF "Nick Fatool" Fatool first played professionally in Providence, Rhode Island, which he followed with time in Joe Haymes's band in 1937 and Don Beston's in Dallas soon after. In 1939 he played with Bobby Hackett briefly, and then became a member of the Benny Goodman Orchestra. He became one of the most visible drummers of the 1940s, playing with Artie Shaw (1940-41), Alvino Rey (1942-43), Claude Thornhill, Les Brown, and Jan Savitt. In 1943 he moved to Los Angeles and took work as a session musician, recording profusely.
My friend from school (Jake Hinson) now has this very clarienet (well one of Artie's from this era) and recently we went to New York and played this with him as a solo on the clarinet :)
Interestingly Shaw was born in May 1910 whereas his great rival Goodman was born in May 1909. Boy was a benevolent 12 months to have produced two of the greatest instrumentalists in the calvacades of music.
Well, I don't want to get into the whole Goodman vs. Shaw debate as both had UNEARTHLY talents... but for me... Shaw wins hands down! This is a great clip. Thanks for posting! Artie Shaw... man!!!
¿Qué tiempos aquellos en que la música dependía mucho de la destreza y sabiduría de los músicos? Cuando todo era mucho más orgánico, más natural... Gracias mil por vuestro legado maravillosos intérpretes de sentimientos acústicos...
Just been listening to Artie Shaw on Tony Palmer's magnificent 'All You Need is Love' history of popular music. Obviously a great man. Well worth getting Palmer's box set.
Artie Shaw was both handsome and talented he had the most beautiful women in the world eating out of his hands just with his looks, his manners and his clarinet. people no longer have that much class
It doesn't take way the fact that he's an amazing clarinetist and an accomplished musician. Sure he had bad posture, that just made it harder to get the sound he had, but he still got it.
Buddy rich played pretty well in this too(Im a drums/percussion player so i also focused on him as well as Artie Shaw). Great show in general. I'd love ti ine have the chance to play with a highly skilled wind instrument player like Artie Shaw in a more modern style of course.
I like him even more so than Benny Goodman. Though Mr. Goodman's sound was amazing at times, he didn't quite challenge himself quite like Arthur Arshawski did, and almost non of Artie's songs sounded the sames, even as he got older and later abandoned music.
Ask any person today, and the majority will tell you they do not like jazz. They think it's boring, because they think of the modern, free jazz variety. Then let them listen to this or Benny Goodman. They'll dig it. This jazz is a true art form, and is America's greatest musical contribution to the world.
Artie is great.... Another beautiful clarinetband: OK-DREAMBAND. Really amazing sound.... CD "Clarinet-Dreams" is availbale for downloading (iTunes, amazon and more). My favorite track is "Your Eyes Are So Blue".
@FlinckJanne1981 The clarinet has a has an approximately cylindrical bore, is made out of wood, uses a slightly larger reed, larger mouthpiece, and uses a different fingering system than the sax. The soprano sax has a conical bore, and is made out of brass, which makes it sound different. Also, the clarinet overblows at the 12th, not the octave like the saxophone.
are you kidding. the first recording of jazz was in 1917 with the dixieland tunes. there was a bass, banjo, piano, drums, clarinet, tenor, trombone and cornet.
Witnessed a fine performance of this last night by the University of Birmingham Big Band - a 22 piece ensemble consisting of at least as many astrophysicists and mathematicians as music students (though you'd never guess it). The soloist was superb, with a wonderfully liquid tone throughout, but, alas, that final ridiculously high note proved too much for them, and after three fluffed attempts at it, they conceded defeat. Still got a massive round of applause though.
My man Artie going absolutely bananas on the clarinet.
He really took me on a walk

@@marykmusic congrats, those things aren’t cheap
He was also a commie pile of crap, regardless of his skill.
Drummer on this cut I believe was Nick Fatool.
“Take ‘em for a walk, Artie”
Artie:
we need this kind of music again, “go let ‘em know howard” *7 minute bass solo*
Black Midi's kinda like that
Oh. My. God. In the beginning, he played an amazingly smooth glissando. Phenominal.
More like a rizzando.
My my, your comment was quite a while ago. I don’t know if you’ll get this modern piece of humor.
Whats a glissando and rizzando?
@@rareELL glissando = slide
rizzando = slide *with rizz*
*phenomenal
artie really took em for a walk
That high C was so in tune in the end.... holy crap. He was truly amazing and does it with ease.
Artie did took me to a walk 😳😯

Have you listened to Martin frost?

I was sent here by a goofy tweet about music and I am delighted by this!
Can't believe I found this absolute banger from a meme
Now I want to see the meme 😏
Came here to be taken on a walk by Artie going absolutely bananas on the clarinet. I was not disappointed.
Greatest Jazz Clarinet player ever.
Along with Benny Goodman...
That last note sounds unreal!
He's amazing!
Huge respect for the guy who is doing the cleaning work in the background from 2.05 till the end....
dang i wish they had the whole version of this. beautiful tune. anyone ever heard his version of stardust?
Holy shit 14 years is unreal for some reason
The whole concerto is 12-15 minutes long. They must have had to cut it down to make it fit into the movie. Gotta have time for Fred to dance doncha know.
ok but that high note slide down thing near the beginning was so casually insane
It's called a glissando which translates to slide in English.
This and Benny Goodman's solo in Sing, Sing, Sing at Carnegie Hall are easily the two greatest things to ever come out of a clarinet
You are correct sir!
@Taran McAllister And Mozart Clarinet Concerto K. 622 ?
@Cruz Billy couldn't agree more
youre forgetting jimmy giuffre sidney bechet eric dolphy harry carney - shaw yes goodman no
phillfoote couldnt agree with you more
The song Concerto For Clarinet is actually over 10 minutes long and I love every second of it!!!
Artie Shaw, Judy Garland and Fred Astaire. What a lineup of talent! And Shaw's band here is terrific too.
+Ronnie Moore Don't forget William H. Macy.

Inesquecível, simplesmente inesquecível. a música de Artie Shaw é eterna...parabéns a ele onde estiver
Magnifico! Straordinario! Che momenti nella Storia del Jazz!
That flute can spin 👍🏻
For me, that last note is a miracle!!😵😅
You should try playing it sometime. For me if it comes out at all it sounds like a cat with its tail caught in a door.
My friend from school (Jake Hinson) now has this very clarienet (well one of Artie's from this era) and recently we went to New York and played this with him as a solo on the clarinet :)
Great clarinet-performance. Powerful orchestra. Thank you. With kind regards, OK-Dreamband.
Fantabulous, and the string quartet is even tapping to the beat.🎵
First time seeing it as well as hearig it. It's just as great!
Artie Shaw was the best. ⭐🎂🎵🎶
Same too like Benny Goodman...
+wgots26 stuffs Nope, for me, Artie is the real man, not that good man Benny.
His upper register is too thin and ear piercing hurts my ears. Sounds like he's using a plastic reed.
Artie Shaw fué una de las mejores representaciones de la música inolvidable de ésa época. Hugonlerz
Sorry, I am back after a dozen times of listening to this
YOUPI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! J'ADORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Des vidéos de vrais musiciens d'une époque malheureusement révolue !
Merci ! Merci ;-)

Artie Shaw, my 1930s-40s boyfriend.
this is by far my favourite instrument

The music of my life - recorded the year I was born!
No tengo palabras para describir lo que esta música me hizo sentir...
Masterpiece!
All I can say is damn that was good

Squidward been real quiet since this dropped
Amazing high notes, great tone and ideas.
He is amazing.
GOD I LOVE HIS TONE!!!!
Timeless. He could sit in with Pink Floyd or Allison Krauss.
wow...awesome....he makes it look sooooo easy
amazing...

Im just learning clarinet and this is AMAZING! only in my dreams, artie is a clarinet god
grande brv in questo stile di musica
Who would dislike this??
Thats the right outlook kid. Dream it, work HARD at it, BE IT! If you start comparing yourself to others you jam yourself up.
Artie is the BEST
Brilliant beyond belief.
Dude in the back killing it on the broom
I like him even more so than Benny Goodman. Though Mr. Goodman's sound was amazing at times, he didn't quite challenge himself quite like Arthur Arshawski did, and almost non of Artie's songs sounded the sames, even as he got older and later abandoned music.
This film - Second Chorus - was released in 1940. The US did not enter WWII until Dec 1941. The first rationing (of tires) began in Jan 1942.
My favorite big band leader is Artie Shaw.
this guy is a beast, got to love the double lip french embrochure
Artie done took us for a walk

Super Artie !!!
I have to agree about Henry, I think he was very underrated and an incredible clarinetist. He was nice to work with, a great gentleman.
Amazing
Love you Artie
Hah cool! That ending is some epic stuff.

they werent lying he can take us for a walk
you'd think concerto was for just the classical stuff, but goes quite well with jazz too
Que grande Artie, colega mio, pero en distinta epoca. Yo segui tu camino....
i love how he just walks around :)
Idk why but the shot of the strings all bouncing there legs in awe was hilarious
are you kidding. the first recording of jazz was in 1917 with the dixieland tunes. there was a bass, banjo, piano, drums, clarinet, tenor, trombone and cornet.
If you liked this, get ahold of the two takes recorded in 30s. Absolutely amazing!
O man
Kyle Hill's community post brought me herem
0:42 William H Macy playing trombone?
This is the jazz equivalent of Free Bird
I have been playing for about ten years, but only last year did I really get into into it, I'm currently a junior at my high school... 1st chair...
It's beautiful! xxs
Last note... wtf... it was in TUNE. First time hearing him play. Mind = BLOWN.
