    This one beautifully written sentence says it all about Arvell Shaw.

 I"ve been listening to his breat bass playing all of my life via Louis 
Armstong's magnificent recordings.  I had the Decca "Satchmo at Symphony 
Hall" whem it first came out in the late 40s and I recently purchased it 
again on a CD reissue.  Arvell shaw's bass playing stands out on all of 
Armstrong's recordings.

    Louis Armstrong's All-Stars rhythm section consisting of Arvell Shaw, 
Billy Kyle and Barrett Deems was one of the best rhythm sections ever, in all 
of jazz.  These recordings stand out and all have been reissued, 
Louis plays W.C. Handy," "Satch Plays Fats."  "Ambassador Satch." ""Louis 
Armstrong Live at the Crescendo".  If you don't have these, get 
them...without further delay.  A good source probably is 
www.worldsrecords.com

   Long Live Arvell Shaw.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Arvell Shaw, a swinging bassist whose thumping, straight-ahead 
style gave musical backbone to Louis Armstrong's genius for a 
quarter-century, died on Thursday at his home in Roosevelt, N.Y. He was
