Shaw, Artie (1910–2004)

US jazz clarinettist, bandleader, and composer. He became famous in the swing era when his version of Cole Porter's ‘Begin the Beguine’ was a number-one hit in the USA in 1938. Other hits (all with different line-ups) were ‘Back Bay Shuffle’ (1939; his own composition), ‘Frenesi’ (1941), and ‘Stardust’ (1942). He retired in 1952.
