I'm just surprised that one clarinet can be heard over the entire band playing without a mic. Dude was a beast

My grandfather's favorite type of Jazz, i miss the days of listing to his vinyl collection with him, doesn't feel the same doing it by myself, RIP Grandpa

*listens to myself play clarinet, then listens to him* ;_;

My dear departed dad was obsessed with this guy back in the 40s and 50s...I never really got it as a kid, but as Ive grown up I can really appreciate just how goddam good these jazz musicians back then were. Today's popular music is dumb-downed crap in comparison.

Oh my God... if I could play like artie shaw I'd never stop playing

i want to play my clarinet like that!!!!

This is what today is missing. If I could just say, the pianist reminds me of Woodrow Wilson.

I really really love the SMILES you see on some of the players faces when they look up at Artie, it just shows how admired he was and the relationship that playing music together gives players. :)

Those were the days. Best hair-styles, best fashion, divine music.

Artie Shaw is a Legend. An amazing musician

Greatest Jazz Clarinetist of all time. Period.

I'm glad I lived and was born 1943 and could appreciate such wonderful talent of the Era of Jazz Artie Shaw was special ❤️

I'm a trombonist but listening to jazz clarinet, especially Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman, has greatly helped me improve the fluidity of my slide technique. Plus it is simply one of the coolest sounds I've ever heard. If you want to develope a schmaltzy sound and slide technique, you should definitely listen to and try to emulate the sounds of the great jazz clarinetists of the '40s. Back then they knew what it meant to be musicians and what the music meant to them. If only jazz were as insanely popular now as it was then. It's an important part of U.S. history that needs reviving. Do your part and download a jazz album the next time your on iTunes!

Man I wish we had something for jazz in our school all we have is concert, pep, and march.

NOW THAT'S TALENT !!!!!

And apparently my school band doesn't allow clarinets to audition for jazz band...

I love this music 💔💕 every detail. Every melody. The best era for music.

His time his Era fabulous what can you say mesmerizing

i play the clarinet and i could never make this kind of sound, like Artie Shaw

Ahhhhh. When music was music. My cousin went to some concert last night and when I asked who the band was she said, it was someone I would have never heard of and it wasn't really a band it was done on the computer. Well THIS is really a band.

Wow Artie Shaw was something on that horn!!!

have to listen to lots of jazz for my grade 5 clarinet jazz exam...... this just makes me wanna practice 24/7......!

I was born in 1990 and I have always liked jazz

This is so rare! I’m hoping somebody can get this Artie shaw clarinet playing style back!

I loved that era for great music and proper musicians.

THIS IS MY JAM

Rapaz esse vídeo causa um incentivo magnifico para qualquer musico, você consegue ver a expressão a gratidão com que eles tocam, é tao lindo isso faz porque gosta porque amam aquilo, é magnifico !!

uhh u can't believe how much m excited for the 1080p version

incredible! i wish you could hear music like this today

He was AMAZING! I play clarinet and I can only dream of being that good....

Quel talent ce Artie Show ! ça swingue à mort ! SUPER !

thankyou!! i agree with you. im a clarinet player and i could not belive clarinets were not needed in our jazz band.

What a beautiful song, especially the ending.

That Bb in the end.... Damn. 8+ years on clarinet and ive only just begun to hit those notes. I want to get to a point where I can perform like him. WOw

Artie could make that stick talk ,just wonderful tok hear

Artie Shaw Your Legendary you Have The Passion Preservence and Also patience That's What I Love About .

Glad this video is here! Pople from other countries that love this music and the clarinet would have no access to it otherwise!

Such Good Peaceful music And days

Great moment. Thanks

my jaw drops every time i watch this

this man is a true master...

Love it!

Wow. Outstanding!

Really amazing. Reminds me of my favorite clarinet-group OK-Dreamband. CD "Clarinet-Dreams" is available for download (iTunes, amazon).

There was NEVER anyone better.This video shows only a fraction of the tune;it's about 8minutes in its entirety and is not easily found(originally released on an EP 45) but is well worth searching for.Artie,aside from all the women he bedded in their prime,was the best (that includes Benny,though I wouldn't want to live on the difference).The film from which this song is taken is missing only Buddy,who left the band some months before. And try to get his book, "The Trouble With Cinderella".

I'm on a clarinet trip right now. Love it in jazz, classical, and klezmer. Artie Shaw FTW!

that last note.... wow.

now THAT'S something to aspire to.

This is amazing

i love guitar

Hi,My dad James "Red" Borland played with Big small,jazz,casual bands. Worked w bands of Wingy Manone,Freddy Martin,Orrin Tucker,Russ Morgan,Stan Kenton, Will Osborne,Frankie Carle,George Liberace. He also worked with the jazz bands led by Nappy Lamare, Pete Bellman, Freddy Morgan and Tommy Alexander. He composed,arranged,sang,traveled for some time with Gene Autry's group, also doing Gene's radio program. wonder if there might be film footage of him playing with any of these musicians.

Good times And Good Songs

Awesome!!!!!!

Beautiful Vibrato!!

Wow amazing!

gee,that's a lineup of great bands! some of those shot Vitaphones in the '30s, vhs and cd's are on sale. most of them on Amazon.Good luck!

Wooaaahhhhh ! Wonderful...

lol @ all the violinists tapping their feet. the anticipation of that note at the end made the final result so much more amazing.

we need more guys like this man noone is a guy who plays clarinet in my band -_-

I love part 1:49 - 1:51, and of course this entire song!

Wow! Amazing

Gotta love the clarinet :)

Share wish I could ,nobody left I'm 78 yrs young Artie what can I say other than thank you

I'm going to try to force my way to join jazz band in my high school next year. I seriously wish I heard Artie Shaw when I was in middle school.

I was just falling asleep and at one point i thought clarinet was yelling at me LMAO. Love jazz.

is perfect ads and my favorites

if you watch closely, the sweeping guy is taking strokes in time with the high hat from the drums which kind of sounds like sweeping.

That last high note didn't sound like a clarinet... o.o It was beatiful!!!

Thank you so much.....reminds me of my favorite clarinet-group OK-Dreamband. CD "Clarinet-Dreams" is available for download (iTunes, amazon).

is perfect

@BurningMonkeyStudios Why does it matter? They were both stellar musicians, and each had his own style. They both contributed to our great musical history.

He could make that liquorestick hum!!!

Hello Capital Wasteland! It's Three Dog on Galaxy News Radio!!!

Kocham Jazz

Amazing

Super !!!

Awesome

espetáculo lindo demais

Muito fixe.... a melodia e o contra ritmo muito bons.... Parabens ,.... ben j"adore

Beast.

They do in some,the one i went to i was in jazz band with the clarinet but there where very few, two if i remember.

This is SOOOO pro :D!

this is good music.

For those of you looking for more of that gliss at 2:47, check out George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.

Man his jazz is so amazing. Playing that high notes without having to play the lower notes to get to the high ones (i do that cuz its so freakin hard).

His contest vs drums clarinet priceless

Nice atmosphere

this makes me proud to be a clarinetist

Wish i could play like that!

Artie just Thanks

thumbs up if u think that the clrinet is the best instrument in the world and its awesome for jazz and orchestra

Прелесть! Спасибо.

Me encanta...

like you bro, this makes me proud to be clarinetist, & i love artie, benny,buddy,peps, pete, acker,& also listen to swing 41 by django, french dude called hubert rostaing, many others i love 2, but if you liked this song, i'm sure you'll be blown away by the greatest of them all (my opinion) EDMOND HALL doing "you made me love you" in Buenos Aires. please, you look this up, & if you like jazz, & class, & brains, then i'd be very surprised if you don't think this is the best clarinet you've ever

Thumbs up for the drummer!

Think I'm gonna pick up the clarinet again... hopefully I didn't forget EVERYTHING I learned in high school band!

He holds the clarinet so freaking high like a trumpet almost.

welp, this video put that notion that clarinets can't play jazzy music to rest.

@ elsieetv thats wierd! clarinets r perfect for jazz in my opinion, and my school allows them in the jazz band... also, these guys r great!

Not a player. Just made them for 20 years. I think this vid proves that clarinets rule!!!!!!!! Long live Leblanc! The name still exists but not the heart. Or the soul. Let it be known that I have no idea what brand Artie played, I'm just saying that I love them and I wish I could still make them!!!
