Subj: RE: [kl] Benny Goodman's great singer

I met Shaw back in the late 70s. He has some really negative things to say
about Benny Goodman, who, of course, was no longer around to defend himself.
Something about how he was a 'true' Jazz musician and Goodman was not. It
really turned me off at the time.

I don't know about his sister, but I just heard on the list or elsewhere (I
don't recall) that Shaw is very much alive, and just as outspoken as ever,
at 91.
