Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating:  out of 5 stars - Artie Shaw
He certainly gave Benny Goodman a run for his money, just fabulous to see these masters at work (if you could call it that)



Rating:  out of 5 stars - A poor example
This DVD is neither endorsed nor authorized by the estate of Artie Shaw. It is a compilation of the playing of several big bands. The main complaint I have about it is the extremely poor quality of the filming. After that comes the awkward editing where there does not appear to be any logical connection between the scenes. Some pretty good playing is shown though the quality of sound is minimal at best. I do not recommend this DVD. There are other really fine DVDs of big bands that do much better. ... Read More



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Great music and musicans
Love seeing big band at their greatest along with the greatest music. I wish they had listed the names of the musicans.
