Aaaah! To sleep, perchance to dream.............I saw the movie "The Benny Goodman Story" when I was about 18 and straightaway went out from the cinema and bought a Clarinet.
Now that's Salesmanship...Benny!
Thank goodness for these recordings of the Great One in action which are there for posterity for us all to enjoy.
As to the Clarinet being locked out of USA schools?......You ratbags! How dare you!
That's an affront to the memory of one of your country's greatest ever musical talents.

@Abriggs500 You see, the thing is you need to be VERY good at playing the clarinet to make jazz sound good. The clarinet is one of the most difficult instruments to master, I'm sure you know that. Probably the reason why directors are so reluctant to let clarinetists join a band. Most often than not a clarinet ruins the sound of the band, specially when they are students.

Still swinging! Always good to see Benny - my favorite musician for 55 years (I am only 64) and my idol as a clarinet player. Great to see that great jazz pianist Teddy Wilson too - great talent and real class. Thank you for posting
