		Just got back from Artie Shaw's funeral, which was held indoors in the chapel of the Pierce Brothers Mortuary in Westlake Village because of the pouring rain outside.
		One was a 1938 radio broadcast of Artie's hot big band playing a song that I believe was called "Everybody's Jumpin'." Artie wanted that played because it was five minutes long and gave the soloists a chance to spread out (Artie hated most of his studio sessions because of the restrictions in time).
		Artie's admiration of Bix was not because of the notes Bix played or his technique, it was the sound he produced on his cornet.

		There was no one like Artie Shaw and, throughout the Swing Era and beyond, there were no sounds like those that emanated from the succession of orchestras and small groups he led.
		The 95 selections were personally chosen by Shaw and assembled as "a summing-up, a retrospective of what I consider my best work regardless of label, an overview of my entire career an clarinetist-bandleader." In every way, they amount to a collection that is as unusual, eccentric and irreplaceable as Shaw himself.
		Of course the set includes Shaw's timeless signature recordings: "Beguine the Beguine," "Frenesi," "Stardust," "Summit Ridge Drive" and others, which are by all standards models not only of the band he was leading at the moment, but of the musical genre of their type.
