Accommodate Quote by Artie Shaw
“The bandleader is a musician trying to sell a mass commodity; and in order to do so successfully he must accommodate himself to mass standards. Unless he can do this comfortably, sooner or later he is sunk.”
![“It ["Begin the Beguine"] became such a hit that it superseded anything that any band had ever had. It was the first time that a so-called swing band played something melodic and still gave it a beat.” quote by Artie Shaw](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4f8/artie-shaw-18387_band_it-begin-the-beguine-became-such-a-hit-t_120311.jpg)
