Benny was just a professional who like his music and his instrument. He just wanted to play music with the best musicians... White or black people? He didn't care! Just play. Nothing else! He earned a lot money? And so what? He was the product,like he saied... He had a talent. He was the best clarinet player and a good bandleader... This is that the history. That's all.

Perhaps, but the simple fact is that when Goodman was becoming exceedingly rich off of King Porter Stomp, Morton was virtually destitute - and it was public knowledge that he was.

@ThomasAthanasius if wikiality dot wikia dot com slash Jelly_Roll_Morton is to be believed the villain was Walter Melrose Music publishers who cheated Morton endlessly. In other words, Goodman's record company probably paid Melrose, but Morton never saw it. ( googling wikiality jelly roll morton might be easier)

@ThomasAthanasius - But I will give Goodman the credit he deserves for having broken the color barrier when he hired Teddy Wilson for Trio - and subsequently Lionel Hampton for the Quartet
-
As stated in "Harlem Renaissance lives from the African American national biography" (available on Google books, at least in part)
he had attempted to join ASCAP in 1934, because it had the authority to collect royalties. ASCAP was slow in admitting Blacks. He was finally admitted in 1939, but it did little to collect the royalties.
-
@ThomasAthanasius I don't understand that. Morton copyrighted "King Porter Stomp" in 1920's and Goodman's version was 1935. Why wasn't Morton getting royalties?
-
Love his playing, but he was a jerk.
Made a fortune off of Jelly Roll Morton's "King Porter Stomp", while Morton was a pauper, not getting royalties.
-
Does anyone know of an online source for this clarinet music?
-
@manosteel1984 - I and history disagrees. Buy a more dependable bus and pay your "egos"! It worked for Duke Ellington.

Nice guitart accompaniment. Eb not the easiest key on the guitar. Not to mention the pressure of performing on stage with a legend of jazz. Great job Eddie.

If you had to lead a band of 15 guys with various egos, a bus that constantly breaks down, and leading the top band in the country, you would be a nut and hard on your sidemen too!
