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.

  • @glendonr - come hear my 111 playlists for every year since 1900, and all the best artists each have their own playlists, too, 350 of them!

  • In special, the swing that Benny has from 1:48 on is overwhelming!!!! Wow!!!!

  • get a hold of " Claranet ala King" --classic benny & mel powell. some of their BEST!!

  • Swing it boys!

  • Never let the World stop talking about the genius named MEL POWELL!!!

  • An incredibly hot recording. Also listen to the 1939 version by Ernie Freeman, which is my favorite record of all time. -Glendon

  • There's the key. Early Benny Goodman was out of this world. He was still way ahead of anyone even when in his sixties but if you ever get the chance to listen to him when he was just starting out, Jesus, was he good. There was nothing he couldn't do with that clarinet.

  • a fabulous offering; you can't study the clarinet without listening to the brilliance of early Benny Goodman

  • Mr Goodman is better than good. Listen to Bumblebee rag if you get the chance.
