About this product

Product Information

During America's Swing Era, no musician was more successful or controversial than Artie Shaw: the charismatic and opinionated clarinetist-bandleader whose dozens of hits became anthems for the greatest generation. But some of his most beautiful recordings were not issued until decades after he'd left the scene. He broke racial barriers by hiring African American musicians. His frequent retirements earned him a reputation as the Hamlet of jazz. And he quit playing for good at the height of his powers. The handsome Shaw had seven wives (including Lana Turner and Ava Gardner). Inveterate reader and author of three books, he befriended the best-known writers of his time. Tom Nolan, who interviewed Shaw between 1990 and his death in 2004 and spoke with one hundred of his colleagues and contemporaries, captures Shaw and his era with candor and sympathy, bringing the master to vivid life and restoring him to his rightful place in jazz history.

3 out of 5 stars
by CdPrnR06SIa@Del...16 Nov, 2010
Good not great
Tom Nolan's book is filled with facts, and for those who wish additional history of the swing era and Shaw's bands, it is a valuable addition. When the author starts to delve into Shaw's personality, his wives, and eccentricities, the author begins to stumble, not quite sure how to express his conclusions. Truth be told, Shaw's egocentric life after he put down the clarinet is boring, and since that covers most of his life, the book slides steadily downhill after the forties. The strength of Nolan's biography is Shaw as a musician. The too long years after tarnish Artie Shaw as an artist.
