When Swing was King

Artie Shaw died a couple of years ago, at a ripe old age, as sharp, cantankerous and opinionated as ever.  For no reason other than my eclectic buddy Dennis sent me a CD with a couple of Artie Shaw tunes from 1939, let’s listen to both of those tunes.  One of them swings, the other does not, but they’re equally good.  If you don’t know who that is Artie was sitting with, please get a clue!

Click the thumbnail picture to see how the video in the previous post appears in my local media player when I click the “Player problem” link.  I’d love to get playlists to appear in the embedded videos as they do in the standalone player, but so far no luck.
