An incredibly hot recording. Also listen to the 1939 version by Ernie Freeman, which is my favorite record of all time. -Glendon

@glendonr - come hear my 111 playlists for every year since 1900, and all the best artists each have their own playlists, too, 350 of them!

There's the key. Early Benny Goodman was out of this world. He was still way ahead of anyone even when in his sixties but if you ever get the chance to listen to him when he was just starting out, Jesus, was he good. There was nothing he couldn't do with that clarinet.

a fabulous offering; you can't study the clarinet without listening to the brilliance of early Benny Goodman

Mr Goodman is better than good. Listen to Bumblebee rag if you get the chance.
