Slam Sterwart stands out ...

[ackbomb]

my grandpa told me that this was princeton universities song when he went there in 1955, we played it at my school two years ago, i still love it (:

[sallysimpson7]

not only is this a great song, but i LOVE your gramophone !!!

[snoopyflick]

Wow, top 25 of the lamest jazz song I've heard. Just edges past that ass clown of of pop music Kenny G. It's like benny's soul was stolen.

[aldiakaroofus]

Excellent, but it doesn't beat his Quartet version of 1936!

[Introspection79]

@aldiakaroofus what would that song be sir?

[aldiakaroofus]

Benny Goodman Quartet - Tiger Rag.

Someone had put it up, but it has been removed.

[Introspection79]

thanks you sir for that info

[googybuzzy]

Jazz and classical best music going..and some of that really GOOD prog rock..

[Matrix803]

This music makes me want to get up and dance! :D

My first exposure to MANY of these tunes was through CARTOONS and this is one of those tunes that brings back cartoon memories! This tune has been used in a bunch of cartoons if I recall correctly. Thanks for this post.

Well Alex....you deserve to have fun ...because that was totally awsome!!!

Great stuff! I've got the same recording but it's a little worn out. I play it on my model X Victrola or my Russian portable. You can see them if you search for obrien135

[musicXobsessed]

after high school, i am dedicating my career to playing the clarinet as good as benny.

[iheartreferencebooks]

this recording is crystal clear!

[davinata]

From 0.57. Sublime. Would love to hear a 'yung'un' be able to play like that today. Would pay handsomly to see him/her.

If Slam Stewart's vocalizing along with his bass playing on almost every tune isn't your cup of tea, there's also Benny's late '44 quintet (V-Disc, Columbia) with Teddy Wilson, Red Norvo, a different bassist, and no guitarist.

whats wrong with slam stewart?! hes amazing! check out some of his own projects theyre great, brilliant funny lyrics and extremely creative and original solos, he can seriously swing

[paulostroff99]

One of ,if not the best of the swing artists.Benny also recorded in small groups stunning music,and more modern jazz.

[ldFlorida]

Nobody but Noooooobody can play the Clarinet like classically trained Benny Goodman. He was the Master on this instrument.

[miltonSF]
