With all that was happening in music after WWII, Goodman seemed stuck in 1935, and became a sort of nostalgia act to the baby boomers parents,

By contrast, Artie Shaw--an even more outspoken radical--was always innovating. His Gramercy 5 small group sessions the best example. It was still pre-bebop but not stale. I should add that I have heard some great Benny Goodman sessions from the late 40s that were were also very advanced.
