How to Play the Artie Shaw Sound: Famous Clarinet Players
A Practical Study of Tone, Time, and Musical Direction
Makes a great gift!
Artie Shaw's clarinet playing sounds calm, focused, and complete. The line stays connected. The time stays steady. The sound stays centered from low register to high. This book breaks down the musical choices behind that result and shows you how to build the same kind of control in your own playing.
All notation includes QR audio codes to listen before you play!
You'll study how Shaw builds a phrase, how he keeps forward motion without forcing it, and how his note choices stay locked to the harmony. This is not a collection of tricks. It is a clear, playable way to understand what keeps a solo from wandering, what keeps swing from getting heavy, and what keeps a line from breaking into pieces.
Inside you will learn how to:
- Keep your tone consistent across the full range of the clarinet
- Strengthen your time feel so swing comes from placement and flow
- Use articulation for clarity without interrupting the line
- Shape phrases that move forward and arrive cleanly
- Use scales and arpeggios as music, not drills
- Spot common misinterpretations that weaken direction and balance
Listening guides, original exercises, etudes, and full, original jazz pieces turn these ideas into daily practice. Whether you're building fundamentals, returning to jazz style, or teaching others, this book gives you a direct way to hear what matters and build it into your playing.
