Tiger Rag 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.

[sallysimpson7]

not only is this a great song, but i LOVE your gramophone !!!

[snoopyflick]

Wow, top 25 of the lamest jazz song I've heard. Just edges past that ass clown of of pop music Kenny G. It's like benny's soul was stolen.

[aldiakaroofus]

Excellent, but it doesn't beat his Quartet version of 1936!
