Artie Shaw: No Regrets

Six months ago, I had the pleasure of spending a sunny California afternoon with [Artie Shaw]. I had tracked him down to talk about my late dad, Ray Conniff. He played trombone and arranged for three of Shaw's bands. I was thirsting for some insight into the swing era, into Shaw's world and who my dad was as a young man. I think somehow I wanted to touch my dad through Shaw.
