To me Benny is and always the best big band swing leader and the King Of Swing. I'm 46 and grew up on jazz and when I was a kid I loved listling to Benny.
Fantastic. Man, I think of all the missed opportunities I had to see Benny and many other greats in person. At least it is available on video to enjoy. This grand music will never die.
Does anyone know if the whole video is available anywhere?
@Chimbo65 So what! They paid to get in. Maybe, you would rather Benny have a bunch of ignorant poor people in the audience who have not bathed in over a eek.
You probably haven't heard a lot of B.G. If you think his playing is hideous you shouldn't bother to get into, or even listen to big bands from the swing era! He was #1 on clarinet and as a leader, tough and rough but brilliant!
Oh Gawd!., here we go again with another comment by some punk who is probably just a know-nothing 20 something puke looking to get a rise out of the old folks or at least those with enough taste to recognize a class act when they see one. Unfortunately this is illustrative of the predominant feeble mindedness among the young (but not all), "i don't give a crap" generation. Wise up "dude". B.G. and his group had every bit as much energy and much more musicality in the 30s than most "bands" today
Hey, WOW! Looks like Bob Haggart on bass and Louis Bellson, drums, too! Fantastic! Trumpet soloist gets nice Berigan-ish style going, too, I think. Thanks for this post!
Every body has an off day, I've never seen or heard Benny in anything but top form. A little surprising to see him with charts. Usually he knew the numbers inside and out.
me and did not have another naum parecid as the Benny Goodman, every time I hear him touch my eyes fill with tears, and thank you for you have put this wonderful work of this great artist
Nice tenor solo by Ken Peplowski.
