Shaw with a clarinet (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artie

'shaw with a clarinet' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for artie that I've seen before include "Man" , "-- Shaw, jazz musician" , "- Shaw, US jazz clarinettist and bandleader" , "Shaw, perhaps?" , "Guy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Chronicle of Higher Education and the Wall Street Journal.
