Artie Shaw (born Arthur Jacob Arshawsky; May 23, 1910 – December 30, 2004) was an American clarinetist, composer, bandleader, and actor.

Though he had numerous hit records, he was perhaps best known for his 1938 recording of Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine". Before the release of "Beguine", Shaw and his fledgling band had languished in relative obscurity for over two years. After its release, he became a major pop artist within short order.

He made a few records for Musicraft before the band broke up. All of the recordings for Musicraft from 1946 were staffed by top-notch session musicians.
