| Glenn Miller |
Alton Glenn Miller was an American big band musician, arranger,
composer, and bandleader in the swing era. He was one of the
best-selling recording artists from 1939 to 1943, leading one of the
best known Big Bands. Miller's notable recordings include "In the
Mood", "Moonlight Serenade", "Pennsylvania 6-5000", "Chattanooga
Choo Choo", "A String of Pearls", "At Last", "(I've Got a Gal In)
Kalamazoo", "American Patrol", "Tuxedo Junction", and "Little Brown

during World War II, Glenn Miller disappeared in bad weather over
the English Channel.

| Benny Goodman |
Benjamin David “Benny” Goodman was an American jazz and swing
musician, clarinetist and bandleader; widely known as the "King of
Swing". In the mid-1930s, Benny Goodman led one of the most popular
musical groups in America. His January 16, 1938 concert at Carnegie
Hall in New York City is described by critic Bruce Eder as "the
single most important jazz or popular music concert in history:
jazz's 'coming out' party to the world of 'respectable' music."
Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington was an American composer, pianist,
and big-band leader. Ellington wrote over 1,000 compositions. In the
opinion of Bob Blumenthal of The Boston Globe, "n the century since
his birth, there has been no greater composer, American or
otherwise, than Edward Kennedy Ellington." A major figure in the
history of jazz, Ellington's music stretched into various other
genres, including blues, gospel, film scores, popular, and
classical. His career spanned more than 50 years and included
leading his orchestra, composing an inexhaustible songbook, scoring
for movies, composing stage musicals, and world tours.

| Artie Shaw |
Arthur Jacob Arshawsky (May 23, 1910 – December 30, 2004), commonly
known by his stage name, Artie Shaw, was an American clarinetist,
composer, and bandleader. Also an author, Shaw wrote both fiction
and non-fiction.
Widely regarded as "one of jazz's finest clarinetists",[1] Shaw led
one of the United States' most popular big bands of the in the late
1930s through the early 1940s. Their signature song, a 1938 version
of Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine", was a wildly successful single
and one of the era's defining recordings. Musically restless, Shaw
was also an early proponent of Third Stream, which blended classical
and jazz, and recorded some small-group sessions that flirted with
be-bop before retiring from music in 1954.
