About this episode

Great live shots of the Artie Shaw band featuring Bernie Privin, Chuck Peterson and John Best on trumpets, George Arus on trombone, Ronnie Perry or Georgie Auld on tenor sax, Bob Kitsis on piano, Al Avola on guitar, Sid Weiss on bass and George Wettling or Buddy Rich on drums with Helen Forrest and Tony Pastor on vocals. The real star is the leader, whose clarinet work here he never surpassed,
