Исполнитель: Artie ShawНазвание альбома: Black Magic Год выпуска: 1973 Формат файлов: Mp3@192 kbps Размер архива: 43 Mb Скачать с: MegaUpload Forgive me if you're not a fan of this once high flyin' swing band leader. As for me, he'll always hold a special place in my personal hit parade. As a teenager his distinctive clarinet tone and swing band sound grabbed me and has never let go. I wanted to be a clarinet player so much, but my dad wouldn't hear of it. His ambition for me was to become a concert pianist. By the time I could a afford to buy a clarinet myself the desire had faded. But not the initial delight and pleasure fostered way back from those '40s radio broadcasts. Although this vinyl was released in 1973, it's obviously a reissue of earlier material. Shaw packed his instrument away in 1955 and didn't blow a note (publicly anyway) after that. He cited his "perfectionism" as the reason. He did serve as a frontman (with Dick Johnson playing the clarinet solos) for a reorganized Artie Shaw orchestra in 1983, but he never played again. My guess is that these tracks were recorded just before he entered the Armed Forces in 1942. (After his enlistment he led a Navy band, sadly unrecorded, before getting a medical discharge in Feb 1944). This pre-enlistment outfit was a large orchestra and featured Hot Lips Page, Georgie Auld and guitarist Johnny Guarnieri among other notable soloists. Take a look at these tune titles. There's no risky stuff here: Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Victor Schertzinger etc.. This was made for dancing or just lush listening.
