Big Band Bash is a show presenting the music, musicians, and era of the great Big Bands. Each show highlights a different aspect of the big bands, whether it be a show about a certain band or bandleader or a subject of the big bands anywhere from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. I hope to get your feet tapping with this great music.

episode 529: Happy May Clarinetists Birthdays Part 2
On part-two of our May clarinetists birthday celebrations, we pay a birthday salute to Artie Shaw who was born on May 23, 1910. I have done birthday shows for Artie in the past and you can find them in older podcasts, but today's show is a little different. I have a three disc set of all the numbers that Artie did while he was on the Melody and Madness show. I have picked out several of those numbers and we'll learn about the history of Melody and Madness in which Artie was on from late 1938 to the Spring of 1939. I hope you enjoy the show as we celebrate the birthday of the great mesian, band leaser, and clarinetist Artie Shaw. Thanks again for listening.
