The World is waiting for the Sunrise - Benny Goodman 1980

[pinkieldred]

Say what they want about "Benny's Burn" ( looking at sidemen with with a glaring stare) Benny Good gave perfection and demanded it from others....It must be nice to play what your thinking...to have that much control.

[BennyGoodman1977]

Nobody play like that.

Nobody!

I learn everything with you.

You was and you still are the best clarinet player i ever eard...

I like the others like Artie,Buddy,Doods etc...

In breath technique,in fingers technique you are the best!

Long live to his music....

Thank you Benny.

[mrhipsterdoofus]

If they can swing like this wearing tuxes, imagine what they could do in casual clothes!

[zelotalot]

just great music ill let it do all the talking.... hope ms roadrunner is still getting down to the great swing jazz im sure it still keeps them feeling young inside. :)

[marianbenelbas]

Alucinante!!!!!!!!!!

[gudkovsaks]

КОСМИЧЕСКИЙ КЛАРНЕТИСТ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[whitefalcon64]

Escandalosamente genial !!

[lokitoxa]

genial es un genio

[crankbv1]

Why do we constantly refer to Benny's playing and style as simply 'swing'? To me this is a banal generalisation that does the great man a disservice. Can anyone seriously argue that this is not jazz of the highest order? For what it's worth,l consider Benny to be one of the 'jazz greats'. Listening to him play is whiskey straight from the still...Pure and unadulterated !

[dancebandleader]

@crankbv1 Yeah !!

[ratormaherikotaischi]

You were waiting for the sunrise, and Benny brought it to you.

[javierguitarraful]

genial maestro

[satochan1959]

I was one of the audience! God, it was 30 years ago, and I was a teenager. Thank you for uploading. It reminds me not only Benny's awesome clarinet but also many, many teenage memories.

[warri1000]

withoght a doubt to the above comment and to this day there has been nobody of that standard and fluency on the clarinet since.An absolute master of an instrument.I have played clarinet since the age of 10 years going pro from the age of18on tenor ,I am now 63'.So all you budding young clarinet players keep practiising and practising , and above all use those ears to listen to Benny and you will learn a great deal. Graham.

[The900custom]

this is addictive just superb

[TaylorTheClarinetist]

Omg he is so good!!! I love his clarinet playing!!

[BennyGoodmanJr]

Look at him smile! It's just so contagious!!! It makes me want to smile!! And I bet it would even in my saddest times

[BennyGoodmanJr]

I am fourteen and I adore Benny Goodman!! I have been playing clarinet for two years and I play his music all the time!! But is it just me.. or does he really make it look a lot easier than it is??? I don't care either way! His awesomeness is all that matters!!!

[dancebandleader]

@BennyGoodmanJr see my posting under STOMPIN' AT THE

SAVOY. Don't stop , keep going.

[donegalfiddler]

Wake up all you pop star wonders and listen to a true artist of long ago. what a talent, what a musician.

[W0lfDragon]

Benny Goodman is the best clarinet artist in the world! :D

[videovader101]

@W0lfDragon was, sadly. But he will be remembered as the best ever.

[ShadowsOfLite]

Im a young Clarinet player and I love jazz. I wish I was around to hear Benny Goodman. Clarinet is not as popular in jazz these days, but Im trying to get a tone sort of like Benny's, thanks for the upload.

[jimraw1]

@ShadowsOfLite I can think of no one better for a clarinet player to emulate than BG. His work with his small groups is still astounding. Just don't let falling short of Goodman paralyze you like it did me for almost a year and a half - I got so frustrated that I couldn't come close to Goodman (and Artie Shaw, for that matter) that I just gave up clarinet in my sophomore year of college). I ended up switching to the bass clarinet.

[ShadowsOfLite]

@jimraw1 Im not gonna stop anytime soon. Clarinet is my passion

[Edylopesguitar]

música que vem do coração!

[trussin]

when benny played the birds stopped listened and learned

[EL1941DE]

BG - The One And Only!

[PowerToasty]

Listening to this makes me feel happy.

[Blijdenstein]

Fanatastic playing by Benny and the quartet. Superb solo, certainly one of his best, great ideas! You can see Benny enjoying it very much and the crowd is roaring. Thanks for sharing it!

[TrabalRipoll]

This tune is really a Benny´s favourite and in this performance he is stratospherical!!! Everything in his artistry is in this one. Thanks for posting!!!!

[zorouchiha15]

me atrevo a decir k es el mejor clarinetista de la historia. Benny goodman the best

[sonarman65]

The King is dead long live the King.

Sad to see him leave but glad to still be able to hear him swing. It do not get any better than this boys and girls. Go look

for yourself. Have I ever lied to you before.

[RosettaLancrau]

Bravo!

[rastagrammarian]

how about the bass player!

[Joanus2007]

realy fantastic, so beautiful

[davidem84]

alguien tiene partitura de esto por casualidad? Se lo agradeceria, me encanta este tema.

[davidem84]

increible simplemente....

[crebe44]

I´ve heard most of BG:s solo´s but this was one of the best I´ve heard. Fantastic

[msroadrunner]

Çould anyone sit still and listen to this fantastic group?

My husband and I are 81 and 82 but this makes us feel

half our age. Thanks so much for sharing.

[SwingCla]

Thank you for your comment, msroadrunner. I agree, they have been making us feel happy for long years.

[trydreamin]

@msroadrunner Can't help it - just have to reply. Man, that's swingin' and I'm glad I play the clarinet so I have something to reach for each day. If this doesn't get your blood moving, you should just lay down and quit. This is what my Mom called "The living end".

[Alcapwned88]

@msroadrunner I'm 22 and i love swing, you cant sit still to this music it takes you over.

[simnebrael]

@msroadrunner

God bless you both - I hope you are both still well and enjoying this.

[4205lr]

it wouldn't be so exciting without that excellent drummer John Markham.

[dragonknightfans]

fabulous, just amazing

[Tina1Sussa2]

Just fantastic and Benny really enjoy it with me too
