Love how Benny stops and waits for the audience to stop that stupid clapping. I always hate when that happens!

Benny is of the Best

King of swing

@jimcrich I think that when Teddy begins with the intro (4 measures), he is supposed to play alone, and the bass and drums should join after he's done with this intro, that is why Benny looks at them because not only they began playing during the intro, but they joined late. Secondly, when the first chorus began, they do it at 4/4, when it should have been at 2/4. Only during the second chorus they are supposed to switch to 4/4, accomplishing what is known as walking swing.

Idiots who clap in 'time' are obviously not listening and they ruin it for those non-morons who are listening. I think it was great that Benny stopped the tone-deaf idiots. Why don't these philistines go to concerts designed for them?

@saxoclar Isn't it strange that most people are clapping on 1 and 3, in stead of 2 and 4 when it's jazz.

I am a big Benny Goodman fan and my band plays this number. My take on this is slightly different. Firstly it is Benny himself that starts the clapping so he is not waiting for the clapping to stop. . I think he lost tempo for a minute and deciced to drop out until the next 4 bar interval. Even with the best it happens !

@saxoclar benny instigated in the begging....

@Thejessi403 i think it's preference really.

[samjlomas]

there are two types of ligatures, backwards and forwards.

Clappers don't really listen. That's why they clap: They actually don't wanna know. They sometimes clap louder than the music they're clapping to. Freakin' morons!
