Ain't Misbehavin by Benny Goodman Sextet (1945)

The Legendary "Slipped Disc"-Sextet from 1945-1946.
This 78rpm-record is played on my portable "His Master's Voice" gramophone from 1938 (Serie 102c, with green leather case).
One of Benny Goodman's greatest combos was the sextet that he led in 1945. With Red Norvo on vibes, either Teddy Wilson or Mel Powell on piano and the humming bass solos of Slam Stewart, this unit had a lot of personality and yet allowed Goodman to operate throughout as the lead voice. This used to be a highly enjoyable band. Great swing music from Benny Goodman who is heard throughout at his best.

brings me back to my childhood...my dad used to play these recordings all the time, they were literally the first records he owned, and were given to him by a dear friend of his. It's amazing to think that these recordings were made all "in one shot," i.e. no overdubs. They were truly capturing real musical moments in under 3 minutes. Unlike today.

I the version I heard there is a Bari Sax solo somewhere in there but I'm not hearing it in this one.

Will 78 rpm records ever come back? The last major pressing in the UK was apparently in 1961. My last Goodman 'new' 78 was of 'King Porter Stomp' issued in

1958. This BG track has a clean sound, no scratches or hisses.

But in 78 days the odd scratch often became a part of the performance, oddly enough, as on my Stan Kenton, Woody Herman and Gene Krupa collection of classics. I pod? U Pod if you want to.
