Description
"There's such a cynicism about the phrase 'I laughed all the way to the bank.' It's as though money is what you're doing, rather than playing music. If you'.re playing a money game, why not get into banking?
"Dance music-as I keep saying, you can dance to a windshield wiper; a windshield wiper that's fairly steady gives you a beat and all you need is an out-of-tune playing 'Melancholy Baby' and you've got dance music."
"I can't understand these guys who just have to have your autograph. I asked one of them 'What do you do when you get home, take it out and look at it?'"
"Jazz was born out of the whiskey bottle, was raised on marijuana , and will expire on cocaine."
"No matter how carefully and assiduously and how deeply you bury shit, the American public will find it and buy it in large quantity, It's true, absolutely true." - Artie Shaw (born Arthur Jacob Arshawsky), 1910-2004
The University of Arizona in Tucson houses his archive.
