ARTIE SHAW
PERFORMANCE |  |
Description:
In 1938, Artie Shaw's first big hit 'Begin the Bequine' jettisoned him to the top of the charts and became Downbeat Magazine's 'King of Swing,' replacing Benny Goodman. Many hit records followed for Artie Shaw and his Orchestra. He played his last performance in 1954. He remains a legend in the world of jazz and still holds the title 'The King of Swing' in the minds of many. These recordings capture Shaw at the height of his fame during the 40's in rare archival performances from radio broadcasts. |
