Background: artie shaw series any old time (198) On the same recording date that Shaw s monster hit Begin the Beguine was waxed (and coincidentally the irst date Shaw s band made or the RCA Victor Company), Any Old Time was recorded as well. Famous as the only side that Billie Holiday made during her brie time as vocalist with Shaw s band, Any Old Time is also notable as one o the ew instances o Shaw the songwriter. He wrote both words and music here. The Music: Based on the score and parts, it appears that this arrangement was prepared in a hurry, possibly or this recording date; there are numerous shortcuts on the score and errors on both score and parts. The RCA Victor executives were clearly looking or a hit rom the our sides recorded and they thought that this song and Indian Love Call had possibilities. No one was more surprised than Shaw when Begin the Beguine took o and made his band one o the most popular in the country. Any Old Time had to be withdrawn at the time because Holiday was under contract to Brunswick Records and made the recording without clearing it with her label. In March o 199, Shaw re-recorded the song with Helen Forrest, who replaced Holiday (she went on to sing with the Benny Goodman and Harry James bands). However, Forrest s version was not released until 1944 and did not have the distribution that the Holiday record had in later years. Wishing to include some o the titles rom his late 0s band or his 1944-5 crew, Shaw had trombonist/arranger Harry Rodgers add 4 th trumpet and 4 th trombone parts to the original arrangement. The parts are in his handwriting, although a second set o both parts were proessionally copied. While Jerry Gray was the chie arranger or Shaw during this period, it was actually the leader who sketched out the arrangements and then reviewed them with Gray, who then illed out the sketches and wrote out the ull score. Except or treatments o current pop tunes (most o which Shaw had no musical interest in), arrangements should be credited to both Shaw and Gray. Notes to the Conductor: This is a straightorward rhythmic ballad meant or dancing, and that s how it should sound. Jerey Sultano -September 2010
