Who was Benny's goodman?

Answer 1

A great band leader and a pioneer in music. =====================================

To expand, Benny Goodman was the most famous Clarinet player of the Swing Era, and arguably was matched in talent only by Artie Shaw. Most fans and critics agree that his orchestra effectively launched the Swing craze in 1935.

I can't do his life justice in a few short words, so I'd suggest starting with his biography as published on the official Goodman website:
