Clarinetist Artie Shaw broke up his big band in late 1945 and, other than some studio recordings, was mostly inactive for a few years. In 1949 he returned to the scene in a surprising way, playing classical music for a week at New York's Bop City to mixed reviews. Later in the year he formed a bebop-oriented orchestra, but it was a commercial failure despite playing excellent music. He soon retired again, only returning during 1953-1954 when he led an excellent modern version of his Gramercy Five, his last group before his permanent retirement. The Artistry of Artie Shaw is comprised of some very rare material. Shaw is heard first on radio transcriptions from December 1949 leading a boppish version of his Gramercy Five that includes trumpeter Don Fagerquist and guitarist Jimmy Raney. Next are 12 selections, the majority of which are adaptations of themes from classical music. Shaw is heard with a jazz rhythm section, a string orchestra, and sometimes woodwinds, French horns, and the New Music String Quartet. This music has rarely ever been reissued and is worth a few close listens by fans of both Shaw and classical music. Completing this set are six selections from the 1953-1954 Gramercy Five with vibraphonist Joe Roland, guitarist Tal Farlow, and pianist Hank Jones that have not been reissued in recent times and differ from the performances put out by Music Masters. Throughout, Artie Shaw plays quite well and, particularly on the latter selections, shows that he had an awful lot left to contribute to the music world before his premature retirement. ~ Scott Yanow Artistry Of Artie Shaw Music Artistry Of Artie Shaw Songs Artistry Of Artie Shaw Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   Finally! Rare Shaw sides on CD!
Rare transcription sides, all the titles from the "Modern Music" Columbia LP, plus the early edition of Shaw's last working group, the 1953/54 Gramercy Five - most tracks have been hard-to-find collectors' items for decades!
This is the first CD release for most tracks - the Thesaurus transcriptions, save for "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", have been available on various compilations before.
Transfers are great, although one wonders why there are a few milliseconds of music missing on "Habanera".
Highly recommended to anyone who wants to hear the "other" Artie Shaw, off the beaten "Begin the Beguine" track.
Some rare photographs in the booklet, too.

 The classical and rare sides
This is an OUTSTANDING release! Issued right before his death, this cd contains the incredibly rare classical performance made for Columbia records in 1949, including rare Gramercy 5 performances of 1949 and 1953. This is the perfect antidote to all of the same Shaw recordings that get issued over and over. If you are an Artie Shaw collector, this is a must. The remastering is excellent and the liner notes are outstanding. Your appreciation for Shaw's music will increase exponentially with the purchase of this cd.

After making headway into the '90s alternative metal scene with a grungy, slowed-down version of their trademark punk-metal, COC (now the band's official name, instead of just a widely accepted nickname) moved into the new millennium looking to keep up their momentum. Since their last album, 1996's Wiseblood, the rap-metal subgenre had taken over the mainstream spotlight, so the band decided to take a slightly different direction on 2000's America's Volume Dealer -- namely, playing up the Southern and classic rock ...

MEET OUR ARTISTS...PEOPLEZ CHOICE, TANEKA GRACE, AND BERNADETTE CLEAREEars unplugged, eyes open and lips shut, as People’s Choice set the stage for a new era in Christian world of hip hop. Music fans young and old, devoured by senseless violence, drugs, and sex; which shower the music industry with death. It is time for a new message, a new direction, and a new choice: The People’s Choice. No longer drunk with their own pleasures, P.C. firmly stands in the path of renewal, ready to enlighten and educate. P.C stands for empowerment, truth, and the celebration of life. Their music consists of external war beats, along side their ear-pleasing story of the streets. This talented group: consists of 2 family men who capture the essence of a rough world, where the hardship of street life is unbearable. 3rd Rail (Kamel Bess), escaped an electrifying past filled with guns and violence, enabling him to conquer society’s stereotype. He crossed paths with Gooch (Vincent Gumbs), the slightly younger member of the group in 1999. Gooch was already part of a hip-hop group based in Flatbush, Brooklyn. These men have decided to share their responsible lyrics with the families of the world. P.C has performed at places such as the Ark, Marc Ballroom, Gospel Explosion 2004 and many other venues and left the crowd with memories of why hip-hop was invented. P.C is the strong medicine of the world, challenging people to think for themselves.Taneka Grace grew up in Southside Jamaica Queens, New York. Taneka was passionate about art since the age of 5.
