Artie Shaw: Perfection Quest

It's Friday, and what better way to spend time at JazzWax than with a documentary on Artie Shaw, easily my favorite bandleader of the '30s and '40s. JazzWax reader John Cooper sent along links to Russell Davies' Quest for Perfection (2003). I apologize in advance. After I started watching this documentary, I couldn't stop until it was finished. That was an hour or so ago. Here are all seven parts...
