1	Jazz Moods: Hot (2005) more music like this by Artie Shaw Artie Shaw was perhaps the most forward thinking of the big band leaders of the 1930s and '40s, and while he was adept at generating material that fared well on the pop charts, he also cut edgy, spooky pieces like his signature "Nightmare" that pushed against the grain, and running through everything he did was his wonderful clarinet playing, ... see all copies from $10.66! new only from $10.66!
2	Victory Parade of Spotlight Bands 1943-45: Wartime (2002) more music like this by Various Artists On Victory Parade of Spotlight Bands 1943-45: Wartime Broadcasts, Florida's Soundcraft Records assembled a two-disc set of jazz, swing, and big band performances from the Mutual Broadcasting System's Spotlight Band radio series, which ran from 1941-1946.

3	Blues in the Night (1941) more music like this by Artie Shaw & His Orchestra While Bluebird in the late '70s released all of Shaw's recordings in chronological order on a series of two-LP sets, its CD reissues have thus far been samplers.

6	1944-1945 (2001) more music like this by Artie Shaw & His Orchestra Hep Records presents a fabulous three-CD chronological core sample of Artie Shaw's recording activity between the autumn of 1944 and the summer of 1945. What made both the Artie Shaw Orchestra and his Gramercy Five so exciting, in addition to the leader's marvelous clarinet, was the continuous presence of trumpeter Roy Eldridge and pianist Dodo ... see all copies from $39.49! new only from $39.49!
7	1945 Spotlight Bands Broadcasts (2004) more music like this by Artie Shaw After being discharged from the Navy in 1944, Artie Shaw formed his fifth and final swing-era big band, not counting the one he led while in the military. Although the clarinetist was intrigued by bebop and had pianist Dodo Marmarosa and guitarist Barney Kessel among his key soloists, Shaw mostly stuck to advanced swing in his music.
