The Benny Goodman Quartet - Flying Home

[SaxSJimmy]

I heard the sound of clarinet (Benny Goodman), guitar (Charlie Christian), piano, vibraphone (Lionel Hampton), bass and drum set. It must be a Sextet!

I'm auditioning for the piano part for this for my school jazz band.

Belated thanks for sharing.

I love this recording, it is my favorite of the Benny Goodman Sextet. A collaboration of all the band member's input on writing the tune. I love the intro on this recording where Fletcher Henderson plays his native style, stride piano, and even though it was past the stride era, it fit perfectly. Charlie Christian never fails, and Benny always had it togeter. I love it.

This version is played in the background of the new movie "Music and Lyrics" with Drew Barrymore (Restaurant scene.

Nice. But I thought this was a recording of the Benny Goodman Sextet, not quartet, with Charlie Christian on the guitar.

[GreekCallas]

It probably is. I lost the information that came with the CD so I wasn't sure.

More? I think one every 15 seconds will do. It was hard enough to find all of those.
