The black orchs were the inovators & creators of this style and the music! I wish more people could understand that?& look 4 THEIR recordings.

Fletcher was Goodman's main arranger. And every BIT of the history shows Goodman was influenced COMPLETELY by the New Orleans sounds. He himself was known to have said if it weren't for Mr. Henderson, he (Goodman) would NEVER have had so many hits.

That's right cemmi2 & unburriedteq. It was the time. Many whites were afraid of black music/culture (unless promoted by whites). So, many white musicians (Goodman, Herman, Boswells, Mildred Bailey to name a few) had to bring this music to white audiences in an "acceptable" package. But as time passed, so did much of the ignorance. Sadly, few brilliant blacks were widely presented; the likes of Armstrong and Ellington, etc.; but only a small portion of it. Rock n'Roll suffered the same fallacy
