Jack Benny, His Dixieland Five ...and Sideman Sid Television’s comedians are swing¬ ing these days, displaying their musical accomplishments on the air in all-star jazz combos. Jack Benny, above, set the style by fiddling around in an aggrega¬ tion that included five Hollywood glamor boys: (from left) Fred MacMurray, sax; Tony Martin, clarinet; Dick Powell, cornet; Dan Dailey, drums, and Kirk Douglas, banjo. Sid Caesar, an old pro, dusted off his saxophone to jive with a band led by another Benny, Old Maestro Benny Goodman (ad¬ miring Sid’s style at right).
