actors. He even penned down books, both in the fiction and non-fiction genres.
Early life
Artie Shaw first opened his eyes to this beautiful world on May 23, 1910, in one of the poshest and
most happening cities of the United States, New York City. He was born of humble Jewish parents
where his father Harold Arshawsky was a dressmaker and photographer but not much is known about
his mother, Sarah Arshawsky. His mother was from Austria whereas his father hailed from Russia.
Artie spent the initial years of his life growing up in New Haven, Connecticut. He came to possess his
first saxophone by putting each penny together that he earned from working in a grocery store, and
began learning the instrument at the tender age of 13. When he turned 16, his interest shifted from
saxophone to clarinet following which, he left his abode to tour with a band.
Career
The early 1930s saw Artie Shaw returning to New York and becoming a session musician and from
1925 to 1036, he performed swing music in USA with several orchestras and bands. In between, in
1926 and 1929, he pursued his career as a music director in Cleveland and also earned the reputation of

1929 and 1930, he got exposure to symphonic music when he played with Irving Aaronson’s
Commanders. As a bandleader, he gained fame in 1935 when his ‘Interlude in B-flat’ at a swing concert,
held in the Imperial Theater in New York, gained the attention of many. His big bands came with
massive hits like ‘Begin the Beguine’, ‘Stardust’, ‘Moonglow’, ‘Rosalie’, ‘Back Bay Shuffle’ and
‘Frenesi’. Shaw was an ardent lover and believer in experimental and innovative music.
Shaw enlisted in the US Navy during the Second World War and shortly after, he formed a band that
served in the Pacific Theatre. He even played around four concerts per day in the battle zones which
kind of unnerved and exhausted him. After his return to the US, he received medical attention. After
living a critical and famous career, Artie Shaw lived up to the age of 94 and breathed his last on
December 30, 2004, in Thousand Oaks, California, USA.
