Artie Shaw was active from 1925 to 2004. Known for his role as a 1930's and 1940's jazz bandleader and clarinetist, Artie Shaw was considered the "King of the Clarinet". Shaw was one of the first bandleaders to racially integrate, hiring Billie Holiday as his vocalist. Although Shaw was notorious for his dislike of his fans, he continued to produce hits rivaling his main competitor, Benny Goodman. |
