Bill Crow, the legendary journeyman bass player and writer, "Jazz  Anecdotes" 
and "From Birdland to 
Broadway" describes what it was like to  play with the Benny Goodman band 
during the infamous Russia tour of 1962 and  Benny's treatment of his musicians 
(and vocalist).  It is a Long Read, but  very very interesting.
