	Bandleader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A bandleader is the director of a band of musicians.
		The term is most commonly used with a group that plays either a popular music dance band or a big band, such as one which plays swing music.
		Some bands have continued operating under their bandleaders names long after the death of the original bandleader.

	Ted Heath (bandleader) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heath was born in London; he started playing the trombone at the age of fourteen, and his early career involved stints with Bert Firman, Jack Hylton, Ambrose, Sid Lipton, and Geraldo.
		The orchestra was on the cusp between dance music and jazz; not only did Heath employ many of the big-name British jazz-musicians at various times, but his staff arranger was Tadd Dameron, and his programmes of straight dance music were supplemented by projects such as his recording of Fats Waller's London Suite.
		Heath (in common with many other bandleaders at the time) allowed no unrehearsed improvising, however, and the orchestra was known for its note-perfect perfectionism.

		Artie Shaw, the clarinetist and bandleader whose renditions of "Frenesi," "Begin the Beguine" and "Star Dust" helped define America's swing era, died yesterday in Los Angeles after a long illness.
		Shaw's reputation as a bandleader and musician was rivaled by his reputation as a serial husband and cranky perfectionist who eventually became exasperated with almost everything, including himself.
		He was married eight times to some of the most beautiful women in the world, including Ava Gardner and Lana Turner, yet he would later describe himself as a reluctant player in the world of stardom where he met them.
