Absolutely no ill intention toward you was in my comment. It was solely about the music:
Wow, this is a long way from the version ten years earlier, w/ the Fletcher Henderson arrangement, from Benny Goodman and His Orchestra (11 AUG ’39, recorded in Los Angeles).
This BG Septet version has some fine choruses from BG and Wardell Gray. Let’s just say that Fats’ chorus [@1:55] is PERFECT!
Thank you!
If someone altered my comment above, I know nothing about that.

But this is what "swingbop"?

Benny could play and "played" Bebop in the mid-late 40:ies but he didn't like it.
He was NOT a modernist - A swing clarinetist par excellence he was!
