Any body who loves music for the sake of music would put Shaw over
Goodman .Many symphony bands aren’t as coherent as Shaw’s was much less other big bands .Pastor did not have a great voice but he had fantastic rhythm! Watching the old clips, Tony’s natural walking gate was even rhythmic .
If Diana Krall had 1/20th of his time she’d have 50 times as much as she does have .Another largely forgotten great rhythm man , who many take as a clown and fool , which he was NOT, was Cab Calloway . Black folks in Harlem audiences knew what Cab was about .
