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.
