Re: Benny Goodman Questions!

SWK hits the nail on the head with references to Slam Stewart and CC. I still have my old 78rpm Sextet albumn with Slam on "bowed bass"....China Boy et al. I have to agree that BG was probably the greatest influence in the clarinet world during the 20th Cent. And so interesting that near or at the height of his career he wanted to sound like Kell! But....before BG was Sidney Bechet who was totally self-taught and who produced a sound that no one has duplicated yet. He couldn't read a note, frequently played with rubber bands replacing broken springs, played with "false teeth" and at least once fashioned a reed from a hunk of wood. He carried his clarinet in his pants and coat pockets. Oh, and he more than once purchased his horns in pawn shops! Go figure!
