白人のビッグ・バンド活動に先鞭をつけたスウィングの王様 （1909～1986）
1909年イリノイ州生まれ。20年代、フレッチャー・ヘンダーソン楽団によってビッグ・バンドの歴史の幕が切って落とされる。そのヘンダーソンのアレンジをより軽妙にスウィングさせ、白人ならではのジャズに再編し人気を得たのがグッドマンだった。34年に苦渋の選択をし、ポール・ホワイトマン楽団からの入団要請を断り、自身のオーケストラを結成。ジーン・クルーバ（ds）やテディ・ウィルソン（p）ら花形ソリストが揃い、エディ・ソーターの編曲も功を奏し洗練された演奏を聴かせ、“キング・オブ・スウィング”の称号を与えられる。38年にカーネギー・ホールでコンサートを開いたことが注目され、“ジャズに市民権をもたらした歴史的ライブ”と評された。86年没。
