    Essential viewing for jazz fans...

    If Artie Shaw: Time Is All You've Got was only a hagiographic clip show extolling the virtues of the title clarinetist, it would still be worthwhile. Shaw is one of the titans in his field; his Big Band efforts are still as vital and engaging as they were almost 100 years ago. However, filmmaker Brigitte Berman structures her documentary around a then-new interview with Shaw, and...well, he's a far pricklier and more interesting subject than you might suspect. A truly great portrait of a difficult man who's also a great musician.

    Great documentary

    A great documentary about a good musician and a fascinating person. Not a film I’d typically associate with VS - like, at all. But I applaud them for giving this film some recognition.
