On February 2, 1934, Benny Goodman recorded with Coleman Hawkins. Not much need be said about these two Jazz giants. Before Coleman went to Europe, they played in a session put together by Columbia A&R John Hammond, who was a force for integrated recording sessions and who pushed to get Goodman to use black musicians. In 1935, Goodman played with (black) pianist Teddy Wilson in a trio, then brought in Lionel Hampton.
