BENNY GOODMAN

KEN BURNS JAZZ
Description:
He was a leading clarinetist in Chicago jazz in the Twenties. By age twenty five Benny Goodman was a dance band leader and, in 1935, playing at the Palomar Ballroom, he caused a riot when he played hot. The Swing Era was proclaimed and the King of Swing was crowned, all at once. The Goodman orchestra now meant swing music around the country, and soon members Harry James and Gene Krupa became superstars too. But Goodman's greatest achievement was in integrating the bandstand, when he hired Lionel Hampton, Teddy Wilson, and later Charlie Christian. Goodman now had matchless small combos as well and, when he played Carnegie Hall in 1938, jazz became a concert music. The Goodman bands' production of dance hits was unrivaled, and for forty years concertgoers as far flung as the Soviet Union were transfixed.
