In 1936, he was welcomed by the "King of Swing" Benny Goodman, and became a big star with the Goodman Quartet, which included Teddy Wilson and Gene Krupa. In 1940, he became independent and formed his own band. He created the appeal of a jump band with a strong movement, and produced a series of hits such as "Flying Home" (1942). It became a pioneering music of rhythm and blues. He was always looking for talented young musicians, and many jazz musicians such as Clifford Brown, Quincy Jones, and Malta came and went from his band.
