What a great musician who, by his leadership and fine work contributed to the health and vitality of American culture and society,

Artie Shaw was better.

It's the golden age of music, alive in my house every damned day of the year.

In the music world especially among musicians who worked for "The Benny" in the 1930s and 1940s there are many, many awful stories told of his inconsiderate, unkind, and dictatorial behavior to even the most esteemed musicians in his bands. One story a local sax player here in Florida now passed away tells is of practicing with the band for a recording at Goodman's Connecticut mansion. Goodman was married to John Hammond Sr's sister, a member of the Vanderbilt family and had a quite nice mansion based on his wife's wealth. The band was out in the garden practicing and rehearsing. Band members started complaining that it was too cold and they should go in the house that had rooms big enough to hold the band, Brass players in particular who felt pain in their lips blowing on cold mouth pieces got adamant. After a while, the Benny stopped the practice and said he agreed it was too cold out there. The Benny went into the house and came out wearing a sweater, and then demanded the practice go on int he cold garden oblivious to further complaints of the cold band members cracking their lips on cold trumpets and trombones. This kind of inconsiderateness was a general feature of stories band members have had about Goodman.

In part he was very single focused in a determination that got him fromn extreme poverty already supporting his parents when he was a child to success. His dictatorial ways as well as high musicianship made him popular with composers and arrangers. Fletcher Henderson, the great black jazzman who wrote Goodman's arrangement iof the piece we hear today, liked working for Goodman because when he had his own band Henderson's soloists who include Armstrong and Coleman Hawkins and briefly lester Young among so many other greats, would add their own innovations and improvisations to the scores, whereas Goodman would force his players to follow the score as it was written.

@@writerrad He was also famous for not giving you another solo if you got more applause than he did. He didn't earn the nickname "Benny Badman" for no reason.

とても素敵なジャズです🎵

And we probably wouldn't have people like Bob Mintzer nowadays either, if not for Benny! Bob Mintzer really should be much more famous...

Hey Rey Ateo ....your comment made me think of Adolphe Sax , the man who invented the Saxaphone and who died in the 1890s , never realizing the overwhelming influence his work would have on 20th century music ....

It seems like four helix engine planes were flying again in a old terrible world but happy at last.😥

Hope that you are still around John , enjoying the greatest music ever made. ...

The smiles on the faces of the audience , probably taken in 1985 , say it all. They lived this music , often times during wartime. "The Greatest Generation". Today's arrogant , entitled , coddled generation have no clue.

@@paulwilliams8555 Thank you Paul for your assessment.

You said it, "dancing"

LOL musicians and singer who worked for the Benny are more likely to talk about "the ray," the nasty look that would come over Benny's face that meant that in his eyes you were finished with him and he had written you not only out of the band, not only out of music, but out of the human race. He was not a gentle humble or kindly soul. People dancing means people paying and he was a popular entertainer trying to bring people to have a good time, not an art for art's sake person, although his clarinet playing was of such a high level that in the 1950s when the money drive wasn't so great he played Clarinet solos with major symphonies
