Artie Shaw - Dead at 94!

[clipper]

Artie Shaw, arguably the finest clarinetist of the 20th century died
December 29th.

Everyone should hear his version of "Stardust" at least once in their lifetime. Truly sublime.

Probably the wrong forum for this, buy hey, someone mentioned Sonny Rollins previously.

Guess it's too late to ask him to play 'Begin the Beguine' for the 7 zillionth time!

He was one of the great ones. An all-time babe magnet in his day. Among his many wifes were - Ava Gardner and Lana Turner. RIP Artie.
