I just received my August 13, 1998 copy of the New York Review of Books
in the mail. It contains an extremely informative article on Benny
Goodman by Whitney Balliett, former jazz critic for the New Yorker. I
wonder how many of you would agree with Mr. Bailliett's conclusion.

"Goodman...died of a heart attack in June of 1986....To all intents and
purposes, the jazz clarinet died with him."
