[Dixielandjazz] Surviving Big Bands

[Vaxtrpts at aol.com]

Dear  Stan,
You said [in part]:  >The only jazz leaders to truly survive  were Count
Basie, Duke Ellington, Woody Herman, and to a lesser extent,  Harry James.<

And Benny Goodman????
Kind regards,
Bill.

Stan also seems to forget the band that survived the strongest, until his  
death, and actually started the jazz education  
movement.............................. Stan Kenton.
