AND HIS BOP BAND

THE ARTISTRY OF ARTIE SHAW

Description:
In 1949, just before he was about to start yet another big band, Artie Shaw made the following statement: "We'll find an identity. Perhaps it would be fairer to say I'll find one. Sooner or later all bands that stick find an identity, and find it through their leader. All the sounds the creative arrangements, the pop tunes and the originals must be channelized through the leader." And on September 14, 1949 Artie Shaw was back on the bandstand, opening at Symphony Hall, Boston. The band's book contained both old and new material, and it was the first time Shaw had gone on the road with a band for many years. The 1949 band features a mixture of numbers associated with the Shaw bands of the early 40's and some in a more modern vein from new writers/arrangers Johnny Mandel, Tadd Dameron, Gene Roland, Lennie Hayton, George Russell, Ray Conniff, George Siravo and Paul Jordansuch, with the more exotic Latin sounds coming from the pen of John Bartee.
