BENNY GOODMAN
Black and white with brown hue publicity photograph of a young Benny Goodman with his arms crossed with his clarinet in his lap.
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Bill/Best always/Benny Goodman". B/w with brown hue, 8x10. After playing with bands in the 1920s and early 1930s, Benny Goodman (1909-1986) organized his own orchestra in 1934. In 1935, he formed the Benny Goodman Trio with Gene Krupa and Teddy Wilson; it became a quartet in 1936 when Lionel Hampton joined. Goodman, who became known as "The King of Swing", was the first major white bandleader to integrate Black and white musicians. Performing on radio and in motion pictures in addition to recording, his orchestra became nationally famous. Composers such as Béla Bartók, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein and Morton Gould wrote music for Goodman. Stained at upper left corner and lower left blank margin. Lightly soiled. Promotional advertisement affixed to the verso for Music Corporation of America (no show through). Overall, fine condition.
