Once upon a Time in Chicago by Jonah Winter, Jeanette Winter
his is the story of the life of Benny Goodman, a remarkable man on many levels. The author does a wonderful job of telling his life story in a style that will engage a younger age group of readers. Winter has a gift for writing that brings out things in Goodman's life that are lesser known, but no less important. Most people know he was a multitalented jazz musician. But many may not know that he came from a Jewish Russian neighborhood in New York, the son of hard working immigrants. One of twelve children, he grew up to be a successful musician and was the first well-known bandleader to integrate his band.
