<content type="html"><![CDATA[All About Jazz is celebrating Artie Shaw's birthday today! 

 Artie Shaw, a brilliant jazz clarinetist, was one of the most enigmatic, daring and adventurous bandleaders of the swing-era. An intellectual, he hated public life and the music industry.

<link type="text/html" href="http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/news.php?id=104466" />
<content type="html"><![CDATA[I'm not sure why the jazz duo of Dwike Mitchell and Willie Ruff weren't better known in the '50s and '60s, when they did most of their recording&amp;#151or why they still aren't household names. part of the reason, i suppose, is that the delicate combination of mitchell (piano) and ruff (french horn and bass) wasn't exactly a happening sound back then. delicate and sensitive with touches of classical influence, the duo's jazz wasn't pop flavored in the late '50s or expressive and excessive in the '60s. today i suspect they aren't well known because most of their albums haven't been released digitally.A...]]></content>
