THESE FOOLISH THINGS by the Benny Goodman Sextet

A Canadian Columbia! Great find!

Goodman had also recorded this a few years before for Victor; Helen Ward was his vocalist.

This one doesn't seem to get much attention nowadays. I wonder if it's because the guitarist, Charlie Christian, is relegated to a short and rather undistinguished solo? There's no reason for the relative obscurity as it's a great side. Lionel Hampton's short solo is wonderful.

This song is used as part of the Sunset Boulevard Area Music loop at Disney's Hollywood Studios located at Walt Disney World. One of the best songs from that loop.
