| | Ben Pollack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Pollack's band also was involved in extensive recording activity at that time,using a variety of pseudonyms in the studios. | | | Born in Chicago, Illinois to a well-to-do family, Pollack was largely self taught as a drummer, and was afforded the opportunity to become the drummer for the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, a top jazz outfit, in the early 20's. | | | Already recognized as immensely talented on the clarinet, sixteen-year-old Benny Goodman began working with Pollack in 1925 as well. |

| | POLLACK, Ben : MusicWeb Encyclopaedia of Popular Music |
| | Pollock was no dictator, but the younger musicians made fun of his singing and Goodman was never a man to let anyone tell him what to do; Pollack lost most of his stars, but built up the band again until on records in late '33 it was essentially the Bob Crosby band to come. | | | Yet the band's reputation among musicians was higher than its recordings would seem to warrant; it never had a regular arranger to give it a distinct personality, and one suspects that either record companies or Pollack himself may have preferred to chase ideas that seemed to be more commerical. | | | POLLACK, Ben : MusicWeb Encyclopaedia of Popular Music |

| | Dismuke's Hit Of The Week |
| | Ben Pollack is best remembered for his band in the late 1920s which was one of the better jazz oriented white dance bands of that decade. | | | The band featured in these recordings is one that Pollack formed after he moved to the West Coast in late 1936 and it did not achieve the level of success of his earlier band. | | | After the Chico Marx band broke up in 1942 Pollack went into business opening his own talent agency and recording company, neither of which was especially successful. |

| | Ben was the head, the business man, but Chico had name recognition and fronted the band at the piano. | | | Certainly one band was the Chico Marx Orchestra, in reality led by Ben Pollack, who organized the band for piano player Chico when all the Marx Brothers put their moviemaking on hiatus during the war years. | | | I was there about two months in 1942, in the summer, and finally joined the first professional job I ever was with—that was a band that was funded by, and its musical director was Ben Pollack, who had the Chico Marx band, with Mel Tormé and Marty Napoleon in it. |

| | The best selections are "Loveless Love," "Sweet and Hot," and "Beale Street Blues." This entry in Jazz Oracle's very complete Ben Pollack series has music released originally as by Pollack, Gil Rodin, Jack Teagarden, and the New Orleans Ramblers, all using virtually the same personnel. | | | Trombonist Jack Teagarden was its star soloist and the band contained the nucleus of what would become the Bob Crosby Orchestra a few years later, including tenor saxophonist Eddie Miller, altoist Gil Rodin, guitarist Nappy Lamare, and drummer Ray Bauduc. | | | So listeners with an open mind toward the many vocals and arranged ensembles will find moments to enjoy during these performances, including a variety of brief solos. |
