Artie Shaw

A publicity photo of Artie Shaw, the famous jazz musician and bandleader, circa 1940.  Shaw never had his own show on NBC, but the network broadcast many remote concerts by his band, and he also made regular appearances on The Burns and Allen Show.

A tempestuous man, Shaw was married eight times. Read all about it in Serial Spouses.
