Artie Shaw is best known to the world as one of the most innovative and important jazz clarinetists and band leaders of the swing era. What is not as well known is that Artie Shaw has not played the clarinet in thirty-five years. A band bearing his name still travels around the country playing the songs that he made famous, but Shaw himself is, as he puts it, "out of the Artie Shaw business." Being a superstar was never what he set out to do.

Artie Shaw is a writer of fiction. The same ear that made him a musical phenomenom continues to delight in the subtleties of language and dialogue. A fine raconteur, he has sold stories to numerous magazines and published two other books, The Trouble with Cinderella and I Love You, I Hate You, Drop Dead!
