Benny goodman Orchestra-Stardust

[Lhortti]

to be honest, i find this song little boring or too calm. Jazz is one of my favourite music genres, but i dont like all of the songs of a one music genre. I do like swing and all music that has little spice in them.

[zoeycatlove]

I enjoy Artie Shaw's version too, but this one holds my heart.

[MrMesalva]

ma come si fa a non ascoltare qesta musica.( specialmente quando stai da solo) e possibile che non riesco mai a farla digerire ai miei amici. non sanno cosa perdono.grazie benny

[45rouen]

Vecchio Benny, sei fantastico!

[TheBernie2201]

When you enter heven you'll hear this playing, amen.

[TheBernie2201]

OMG

[exmortis]

One of three standout versions of this song. The other two in my opinion are Miller's iconic, irreplaceable standard, and Shaw's upbeat, feel-good number. I'm 29, and this music is timeless.

[yinoway]

Right, this is the sound of Benny's clarinet that I used to love to listen to. The reason my picking up clarinet to learn. yeah, great. . . .

[ARTMARSHALL1]

I think there is an intro to this song by the trombone section which we do not hear on the posting.

[rockerhead247]

This is honestly my favorite song ever made. It's just so serene and peaceful, makes you relax, in fact it almost forces you to relax. Makes you close your eyes for a second no matter what or for how long or short. Just a perfect song.

[Stevie4924]

And the one person that took the time to find and dislike this video ? tell me who wouldn't love such a classic and quality sound 

[LucaC1993]

Grazie infinite per questa meravigliosa canzone (che l'originale era di Hoagy Carmichel, composta nel '27)!

[51362879]

This is great. This was back when music was fun!

And competent!

[Giovannitquarto]

Bellissimo

[SeaCucumber12]

Gosh..this makes me want to play clarinet so bad...and i'm a trumpet player..

[Duddy363]

@SeaCucumber12 as long as you dont like clarinet better =P jkjk

[redshark618]

oh my god...

MANY 13-17 year old children like yourself do not like current music

so PLEASE, enough with the damn comments that go "I'm 15 and i DONT like bieber or gaga"

because i have heard enough of that bullshit.  NO one likes them.

[ARTMARSHALL1]

What a wonderful band; the phrasing and timing of the saxes and the smoooooth trombones!!!! And the clarinet soaring over the band holding back to create the relaxed timing. Do I hear Bucky Pizarelli on the guitar? What a beautiful arrangement .



[clarinettistwalt]

Beautiful Hoagy Carmichael composition with with superb tone fron the clarinet and wonderful ending. Fantastic recording ! Thank you.

[tenorbanjo4]

Hai fatto bene a non resistere...! :o))

[Pianoyappa]

@KARLAISAHOE

ooops! Typo haha

I meant, why do I have to be quiet? ↓

[Pianoyappa]

@KARLAISAHOE Not trying to pick a fight here but, why do I should I be quiet? (0_o)

[georgeg1946]

Pianoyappa - AMEN!

[Pianoyappa]

@georgeg1946

(^_^)

[joomuck]

This is great and Goodman, although probably not a nice guy, was a wonderful musiican and he does a fab job on HC's Stardust. I would recommend Artie Shaw's 1938 version, which is difficult to come by; however, the 1940 version is also wonderful.

Thanks for the posting,

Ted

[haricotsvert]

And at the end of the day, after it has been a complete ruckus, I come back home and listen to this on a loop for 2 hours straight and everything is simply beautiful and alright.

[Pianoyappa]

@DRAGUNOFF Thank you so much for uploading this masterpeice.

0:50 is just perfect.



[Pianoyappa]

More valuable than Gold.....

I'm 17.... I wish I were 17 in the 1930's then probably I would be seen less weird. I don't understand how other teens my age can stand 3sec of Lady GaGa's "music". The world is just upside down.....

[wafflecushioned]

@Pianoyappa If you were 17 in the 30s and listened to Benny Goodman, the older folks back then would look at you the same way that older people today look at those who like Lady Gaga. You would be just as wierd back then.

[kusa1978]

@wafflecushioned I would take the looks for this music. ;D

[KARLAISAHOE]

@Pianoyappa If you don't understand then you need to be quiet. I'm not a strong proponent of Lady Gaga, however, Stefani Germanotta is quite the talented musician. That's not even the point though. I don't think jazz was meant to be a style or genre but rather a spirit in which creativity and soul can thrive.

[massimo2ooo]

@Pianoyappa I definitely feel that. I am 21, and I'm obsessed with this music. I have a radio show on my college's radio station, KZSC. If you like swing music, you should check it out, its on Saturdays from 2-4 pacific time and it streams live around the world on kzsc.org.

[Pianoyappa]

@massimo2ooo

Thanks I'll check it out!

[kryfon]

@Pianoyappa

Don't worry, you are just light years ahead of your contemporaries. Instead of worrying, feel sorry for your contemporaries, that some of them may never come to appreciate this true genius.

[joezbackwith2gatz]

@Pianoyappa I know what you mean...

[TheEldoradoKid]

@Pianoyappa Son...you have restored my faith in hope for the youth of today! God Bless you for having a good head on your shoulders and keep on listening to the classics of American Jazz. You can't go wrong with "real" music like this produced by pure talent without the aid of any computerized anything; When real Men and Ladies produced some of the best music in the past 100 years.

[Shuck1701]

@Pianoyappa Being in the same boat as you, I know how you feel. It's terrible.

[Supergungun]

@Pianoyappa You don't know the half of it kiddo.

[skeebert]

@Pianoyappa damn right son..

[AlienTexas]

@Pianoyappa Thank you from a 64 year old. I loved my Mom's music when I was your age too

[abstractGBAM]

@Pianoyappa glad to hear I'm not alone here. 17 as well and a trumpet player. pop, hip-hop, and rap needs to go..modern country too..it's pop in cowboy boots. fortunately with Adele bringing back a bit of blues...jazz may not e far off.

[chavisfiction]

@Pianoyappa I know what you mean my brother

[fifdome]

Amazing.  Just unbelievably gorgeous.

[yanka65]

no one could play the licorice stick, like this man.

[Rezninja1]

If i get tired of Modern music i go back to the 40's, awww man, jazz that time was a passion.

[genutbutter1]

How great to hear my favorite song played by Benny Goodman! Thank you

[vslescobar]

@ Genutbutter1

Concordo plenamente!!!!!!!!!!

[JanaSklibova]

I love jazz.

[718koki]

IMPRESIONANT I FANTASTIC !!

[hippie6996]

i've heard this version of this song since i was a little kid. when i moved up to boston and saw snow for the first time i thought of this song..... and every time it snows i have to listen to it. try it out, its a good feeling

[porcodioquantofilava]

2:30

[maidenjuice]

beeeeautiful trombones at 2:15

[maidenjuice]

What is going on at 1:12?

[biscutsdad]

Good ears, maidenjuice. The problem at 1:12 happens on the 4th beat (they are in Eflat). The lead trombone plays middle C up to E flat (2 eighth notes in a triplet feel) and the bari. sax plays E flat (3rd space in bass clef) down to D (right below it)...so that on the last 3rd of a triplet on beat 4 you have an pure E flat chord with a D in the middle of it. The trombone was right. The bari sax probably goofed (can't believe it was written that way.)

That's what I hear....I applaud your ears!

[tbcass]

@biscutsdad You can applaud his ears but isn't it better to sit back and enjoy than to pick it apart? I had to go back and listen 3 times to hear what you were talking about and indeed there is a wrong note there that quickly is corrected. The overall feel is more important than absolute perfection. That's probably why Goodman, a perfectionist him self, didn't rerecord it.

[jamsmi174]

and who is King of POP ..????

get real

[jazzangelreloaded]

haha love the picture at 1:20 ;)

[SSUnitedStateslife]

Smooooth

[gammadriver]

Smoothest song I've heard in a long time - thank you.

[stevel2611]

My favorite version of this song. Benny Goodman was a true genius on clarinet...one of those musicians that wasn't just talented but could really communicate with the audience when he played. Genuine classic.

[kusa1978]

@stevel2611 He was a great gift to us all. I feel in love with Swing and Big Band because of him. Been in a music love affair since. "A Song Is Born" one of my favorite movies. All these great people together. Thanks for posting.

[Gjavar]

Ma i 'solos' di Stardust ottimi (nell'ordine) di Brown,Soloff,Marsalis,con tromba,e quello di

Coltrane,con sassofono beninteso,non sono secondi nè a quello di Goodman nè a quello

di Armstrong!!! Anzi. Basta ascoltarli d'altronde.

[masqualero09]

Bella, d'altra parte Stardust è bella anche suonata dall'ultimo dei dilettanti... Ma la versione di Satchmo non si batte...

[DRAGUNOFF]

mhm..si hai ragione..ma da clarinettista non potevo che metterla...fra l'altro quella di satchmo mi sa che già c'era quindi non volevo mettere doppioni sul "tubo"..;)

[lucmanty]

@masqualero09 Non sono daccordo. La piu' bella e' quella di Artie Shaw

[peppone1492]

la perfezione in musica non si puo raggiungere, questa interpretazione xò si ci avvicina moltissimo, nn esiste un tempo x queste tipo di musica, questa è la musica , eterna come le sensazioni ke fa provare , grazie mille a chi l'ha messa a disposizione di tutti

[Atomic520A]

Great Song. Anyone know what album this is on

[annanoli]

Un Goodman piuttosto tardo,affaticato.direi metà anni 60.a tutti propongo invece la versione di Artie Shaw,veramente magnifica,qui su tube.

[riflessoblu]

Cha musica. Fantasica. Da sognare. grazie

[MacroDr]

meravigliosa antro non mi vien da dire

[jackiedivette]

che bella che è...io ne ho un altra versione, molto bella ma non so chi la suona...graze cmq, sono pochi ad amare questo genere musicale...

[jackiedivette]

Simply wonderful...thanks!!!
