Actually,
Benny Goodman was far more influnced by
Jimmy Noone -- whose sound and style contrast greatly with the earthier, woodier, bluesier sound of
Johnny Dodds; not that either
Goodman or
Noone couldn't play the blues -- both certainly could, but
Johnny Dodds' clarinet playing has the force, both emotional and physical, of his two-time bandmate
Louis Armstrong, perhaps a reflection of his and
Armstrong's specific life experiences as African-Americans during the first quarter of the twentieth century, from
New Orleans which were -- to a lesser extent -- shared by
Noone, who as a "
creole", a social class that had always held itself apart from the African-American population of the city, until forced to live amongst them in accordance with New Orleans' rigid segregation codes; and
Goodman as the child of a
Jewish Russian immigrant family.

Possibly the Noone influence was greater, but I think it's fair to say that Dodds was an important early influence, as probably was Roppolo. --
