Editorial Reviews

Review

"'I read through your book rather rapidly, since I already knew most of what you were writing about.' - Artie Shaw; 'This well-researched and painstaking book draws from a multitude of sources and is a welcome addition to the slim library of Shaw biographies.' - The Jazz Rag"


Product Description

Artie Shaw led one of America's most accomplished big bands during the 1930s and 1940s, and has sold over 100 million records. An enigmatic figure, Shaw frequently tired of the music business, often forsaking it for extended periods. This study offers a narrative account and analytical assessment of the achievements and concerns of this hugely important musician.

5.0 out of 5 stars Artie Shaw biography, July 15, 2009
I'm an Artie Shaw fan, and thought that I'd read all the material on Shaw. But, this one is little known, and is superb. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
