	Benny Goodman - Wikipedia
		Goodman wurde in Chicago (Illinois) als Sohn armer jüdischer Immigranten geboren.
		Goodman stieg in eine der damals führenden Bands in Chicago ein, das Ben-Pollack-Orchester, mit dem er 1926 seine ersten Aufnahmen machte.
		Benny Goodman hatte das Ziel, "schwarze" Musik einem jungen weißen Publikum näher zu bringen, und hat sich dabei auch um die Überwindung der Rassentrennung in den USA sehr verdient gemacht, denn in den frühen dreißiger Jahren konnten schwarze und weiße Jazzmusiker in den meisten Musikkapellen oder in Konzerten aufgrund der öffentlichen Meinung nicht zusammen spielen.

		Goodman’s first recordings were made with the Pollack group in 1926, and give a strong example of Benny’s influences at the time including Jimmie Noone, who was then with Doc Cook and His Dreamland Orchestra and Leon Roppolo of the New Orleans Rhythm Kings.
		During this period Goodman recorded his first sides as a leader with members of the Pollack band including one 1928 date which features the only known recording of Benny on alto and baritone saxophones.
		Many musicians claimed that Benny was dishonest when it came time to pay off the band and many more recalled the Goodman “ray”, the dirtiest of looks received when a mistake was made.

		Goodman eventually was persuaded that featuring a racially mixed group in this manner was not a recipe for disaster and when the occasion passed unremarked, except for musical plaudits, he soon afterwards employed Wilson as a regular member of the featured trio.
		Goodman soon ended his flirtation with bop, but the release, in 1953, of a long-playing album made from acetates cut during the 1938 Carnegie Hall concert and forgotten during the intervening years revitalized interest in him and his career.
		As a musician Goodman was a perfectionist, practising every day until the end of his life (in his biography of Goodman, James Lincoln Collier reports that, at the time of his death, the clarinettist, alone at home, appeared to have been playing a Brahms Sonata).
