Benny Goodman

Day 40
#27 – Benjamin David ‘Benny’ Goodman (1909–1986). American jazz and swing musician, clarinetist and bandleader. Also known as the ‘King of Swing’. Albums include: Stompin’ at The Savoy (1935), Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert (1938) and B.G. in Hi-Fi (1954).

Struggled with this one. Lots of Kings and another crown. Working with the clarinet and type seemed the most powerful solution.
