Artie Shaw: Next Steps

Artie Shaw: Next Steps

Artie Shaw was a giant of the swing era, but he forever pushed beyond orthodoxy, emphasising artful expression even while keeping dance floors packed. The delicacy and fluidity of his singing clarinet on “The Man I Love” is a marvel of precision and nuanced construction, while an unusual arrangement of “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” delivers a still-odd timbre featuring harpsichord and electric guitar gliding under his horn.
