This Artie Shaw LP is reposted for those who have requested it. Individual tracks are listed below.
Walt Levinsky was personally selected by Artie to re-create the Shaw solos. Artie himself conducted and produced these sessions recorded in Capitol's NYC Studios. Musicians are not listed on the LP, although in an interview Shaw mentions Buddy Morrow (trb), Toots Mondello (alto) Al Klink & Billy Staplin (ts), Bernie Privin, Mel Davis (trp), Bernie Layton (p) and Don Lamond. Capitol should have released this on CD. It's the 100 birthday of Artie Shaw. This is a superb update of some of his best recordings.

ReplyDeletePaul,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for re-posting this Artie Shaw, but when I go to the Mediafire site, there's nothing to download.
It just says "0 Items to display".
Is it just me??
My apologies for the empty post. It's there now, as is the Clooney-Prado album.
