    That's "Artie Shaw" not "Arty-Shaw" for crying out loud - arguably the most famous clarinetist next to Bichet and Goodman, but whatever.

    Don't embarrass yourselves too much, you non-jazz-historian dancers.

    Thanks for making posts to all the forums, SpecK! I've been meaning to get out and do some of those, but it hasn't happened yet.

    For all you swing dancing jazz historians who have never won a spelling bee, it's "Sidney Bechet".

    And yeah, I'd put the hyphen between "Shaw" and "channeling".

    It's not the only grammatical error I've inflicted on the swing world in my ULX promotion. Maybe it will get people to pay attention and remember to sign up.
