Artie Shaw: Time Is All You've Got (1985)
Excellent documentary

I was in the new 1984 band when this documentary was being made. I played piano. As I heard it, Artie felt that the film should be put in movie theaters instead of cable TV. Cinemax I believe. So he sued. At the urging of a booking agency Artie decided to put his music back out to the public. He was 75 at the time. We played various venues with a new front man, Dick Johnson playing all of Artie's clarinet parts. I sat next to Artie when the documentary was screened for the band in Toronto. I noticed he was tearing up when Evelyn Keyes was being interviewed in the film. I handed him a tissue. It was a special moment. Steve Kramer.
