One of the most popular and intriguing big band leaders of the Swing era, Artie Shaw took jazz clarinet to a new level of artistry and celebrity. On occasion, Shaw would tour with a smaller group, his “Gramercy Five,” which became one of the fixtures of small group swing. Come and enjoy a rare performance of this melodic and jubilant music featuring James Danderfer -clarinet, Bill Coon – guitar, Miles Black – piano, Atley King – vibraphone, Jodi Proznick -bass and Joe Poole – drums.
