Benny Goodman 

was active from 1926 to 1986.

He was only 10 when he first picked up a

clarinet. By 1934 he was seasoned enough to

be ready for his first big break. His career,

spanning more than six decades, had an

almost unparalleled impact on popular music

and underscored the importance of the

clarinet in both jazz and classical music. He

was known as the 'King Of Swing'.
