Glenn Miller
Not to take anything away from Glenn Miller but, he was small compared to other bands in that "ERA"....................
Being a student of music SteelCock, you should understand......
The greatest, if you can use that phrase, was Benny Goodman.
The Jew from New York. Trained in Classical music. Defied his parents and became a Big Band Jazz Leader.
Brought in Lionel Hampton on Vibes, ( A Black Musician ) Gene Krupa on Drums and had a Trio that changed the music world as we know it. The beginning of Bebop...................
Because of that, Fletcher Henderson, a Black music writer, started to write Charts for the Goodman Band...........and the rest is History.......
I had the pleasure of being able to take a few drum lessons with Gene Krupa and Vibe lessons with Lionel Hampton when they were in Chicago.............It was an experience I will never forget..............
But, Let's not forget the others.....................
COUNT Basie, DUKE Ellington, BUDDY Rich, MAYNARD Fergeson
AND now we have PUFF DADDY ????????????????
I would rather listen to Johnny Cash, then what people listen to today.........................
I Think I pulled a ROYBOT here..............LOL
Later............................
