Some of the most popular and recognized songs of all time were recorded by Artie Shaw and his band in the 1930’s, 40’s and 50’s. Popular hits such as Stardust, Begin the Beguine and Moonglow are now staples of the American Songbook.

Although Artie passed away in 2005, his clarinet virtuosity is now carried on by his successor, band leader Rich Chiaraluce. Along with some of the finest instrumentalists in the world, the Artie Shaw Orchestra continues to play the authentic, original arrangements that defined that distinctive “Artie Shaw” sound.

Currently, the Artie Shaw Orchestra is one of the best of the big bands remaining from the glorious swing era and continues to tour the world, thrilling big band aficionados and swing dancers alike.
