If your old, but not too old, and still have some common sense, you cannot say he wasn't the King of Swing.....

Just a side note: You have to remember the moniker "The King of Swing" was a tag given by his publicists. Much in the same way back then, Artie Shaw was known as "The King of the Clarinet". Now, in my estimation, both were fantastic musicians; however, Goodman certainly DID swing better than Artie Shaw; most fans won't refute that. Shaw, on the other hand, had a slightly better tone (he was great on ballads because of that) and invented new fingering on his instrument for reaching the highest notes possible. They were BOTH virtuosos on that instrument! Goodman could really swing, worked with other musicians who likewise could swing. Shaw was more intellectual and artistic in his playing and arrangements. But as mentioned below there were so many great swing stars back then--perhaps we should call each of them "the king of swing"!

What an all star quintet. Each one worth the price of admission. Each a band leader at one time or another. Like that change up towards the end

People really shouldn't keep calling him the king of swing. He was really only called that because his band just happened to be one of the first to become part of popular culture. He was a fantastic Jazz player by all means but no one could honestly proclaim him the best. He even knew that wasn't true.

Just love these guys, first and foremost Gene Krupa. Just look at him from 4:50 on how much fun he has and projects, like every single beat is special and matters. May heaven swing to the sound of those four giants!

The great Quartet,masters all, Goodman, Wilson Hampton and Krupa.Even with Gene close to the end of his life and ill, the vibrant swing sound is still there with allthe excitement. Say as you wish,these had no equal. Don
