For young people to be able to hear this music by Benny is a fortunate set of circumstances; in this way they might have an inclination to practice and continue his legacy.

This is a from a live special, "Allen In Movieland" (which featured Steve Allen and Benny Goodman, "behind the scenes", during the filming of "The Benny Goodman Story", which was released later that year).

I was 9 years old when Gene died and I'm from Germany. I envy you for having him seen live. It's so great to watch these clips. Wonderful.

This is a very good example of the jazz that this group played - I saw Gene playing live several times the last 5 years of his life, and it brings back lots of memories. He was a major influence in my early drumming... the way he kept everything together in the band was incredible
