He was in Budapest in 1976. I was 10 at the time and I missed him although my teachers offered me a ticket. My parents thought I was too young for the concert. What a pitty. His sidemen included Warren Vaché whom I had the pleasure to meet some time in the mid-1990s in Marsiac, France. When I hear his records, the first word that comes to my mind is 'elegance'. That is what we are short of today.

Goodman had the knack that when he started playing the years melted away. I saw the same thing when I was privileged to watch a late Woody Herman performance. Woody shuffled out on the stage and I think many of us just wondered if he was going to be a shadow of his former self. He cued the band and began to blow. In the space of one bar of music twenty years left his body and he was a much younger man, moving and playing with full command. It was awesome as was the whole set.

Those who claim to have seen Goodman live; we envy you. He was undoubtedly one of the finest instrumentalists of the 20th century. Goodman should not be defined by the performances of his latter years. If you want to hear the virtuoso Goodman then just listen and be mesmerized by his incomparable rendition of the Tiger Rag from the 30's and 40's.

Joe Dixon who was with Bunny Berigan comes pretty close and so does Johnny Mince (Tommy Dorsey band) , both were Goodman devotees. I will also mention Irving Fazola who, sadly, died too early to fulfil his tremendous potential. Heard BG at Snape Maltings in Suffolk back in the 1970s when he gave a number of classical music concerts which were as spell binding as his jazz playing. The man was a master. What price the three chord wonders of the 'pop' world.

Benny got the rudiments of his instrument at an early age while going to the local sinagogue. Black clarinettist Buster Bailey also learnt from the same teacher and you can see the similarities between BG & BB. Good basic training plus superb sense of rhythm and technique plus an ever inspired and creative musician plus lots of rehearsals. Fletcher Henderson had a difficult time with his musicians. They were good and fabulous but oftentimes came late to rehearsals or skipped them altogether. There's no substitute for perfection. You must put the time and effort to shine thru the clouds.
