Archive material and source history

Artie Shaw was born Arthur Jacob Arshawsky in New York City in 1910. He started playing professionally at 14 with the Austin Wylie Orchestra, then formed his own Artie Shaw Orchestra in 1936. The band included musicians like trumpet player Billy Butterfield.

Shaw's orchestra became known for its swing style, with a driving rhythm section and his own clarinet playing. He sometimes worked classical music and popular songs into the arrangements. Songs like 'Frenesi' and 'Thanks For Everything' came from this period.

He was a perfectionist who changed band lineups frequently.
