Kern, Jerome. (1885–1945). Autograph Musical Manuscript. Autograph manuscript of a previously unknown composition, from the estate of the important American clarinetist and bandleader, Artie Shaw. Complete in 2 pp., folio, for strings and alto flute, accomplished in pencil entirely in Kern's hand and inscribed at the conclusion "Love from the old man." Originally obtained directly from the Estate of Artie Shaw, sold with a certificate from the Estate.
A self-proclaimed "very difficult man," Shaw was married eight times, including for two years (1942-43), to Betty Kern, the daughter of the songwriter. The present manuscript evidently dates from this period.
