Woody Herman
Woodrow Charles "Woody" Herman (May 16, 1913 – October 29, 1987) was an American jazz clarinetist, alto and soprano saxophonist, singer, and big band leader. Leading various groups called "The Herd", Herman was one of the most popular of the 1930s and 1940s bandleaders. His bands often played music that was experimental for its time. He was a featured halftime performer for Super Bowl VII.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.super-bowl-history.us/superbowl-history7.html )〕
==Early life and career==
Herman was born Woodrow Charles Thomas Herman in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on May 16, 1913.
His parents were Otto and Myrtle Herman.〔Lees 5〕〔Woody Herman changed the spelling of the familial name.〕 His father had a deep love for show business and this influenced Woody Herman at an early age. As a child he worked as a singer and tap-dancer in Vaudeville, then started to play the clarinet and saxophone by age 12. In 1931, he met Charlotte Neste, an aspiring actress; they married on September 27, 1936.〔Visser 12〕 Woody Herman joined the Tom Gerun band and his first recorded vocals were "Lonesome Me" and "My Heart's at Ease".〔Clancy 15〕
Herman also performed with the Harry Sosnick orchestra,〔Clancy 16〕 Gus Arnheim and Isham Jones.〔Clancy 17〕 Isham Jones wrote many popular songs, including "It Had to Be You" and at some point was tiring of the demands of leading a band. Jones wanted to live off the residuals of his songs; Woody Herman saw the chance to lead his former band,〔Clancy 20〕 and eventually acquired the remains of the orchestra after Jones' retirement.''
