Outspoken, manipulative, independent thinking and oftentimes
controversial, Artie Shaw (1910-2004) was one of the most popular stars
of the Swing Era, who famously broke the color barrier by hiring the
legendary Billie Holiday, Hot Lips Page and Roy Eldridge for his bands. His
complex love-hate relationship with his own celebrity caused him to walk
away from performing almost as many times as he walked away from his
marriages.
Winner of the 1987 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature,
Artie Shaw: Time Is All You've Got, which premieres on VOD &
leading digital outlets on April 25, portrays the restless life and five-
decade career of the gifted clarinetist/bandleader known as the “King of
the Clarinet.” Anchored by an incisive interview recorded when he was 72
years old, this entertaining portrait is much more than a jazz film; it is the
insightful story of a brilliant and complex individual.
