He once said of the Garden: \u201cIt was like your own home. The bungalows were all around the pool, so you felt like you were in your own place. &#8230; It was one of the few places that was so absurd that people could be themselves. And there were never any producers \u2013 the common enemy \u2013 hanging around, just hip actors and good writers. It was a colony of expatriates in the middle of Hollywood.\u201d<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artie Shaw was a widely regarded as one of jazz&#8217;s finest clarinetists.
