This is why I like Goodman. This is from the era of the famous 1938 Carnegie Hall concert that broke down all the barriers. Amazing musicianship. If you don't move to this music, check your pulse.
Teddy Wilson was great on the piano. Such a talent. Krupa can't be touched. Maybe not the fastest in the world, but technique a rhytnem can not be touched. No one got the sounds out of skins like Gene did. Goodman and Hampton. I still remember those days. The clubs. The sounds. the smoke filled rooms. Ahh the memories

There's nothing today that even comes close. This is a true treasure for humanity. The ultimate combination of technique, tone, musicality, creative composition, entertainment and showmanship. I too was born in the wrong era. If music reflects the society we're in big, big trouble.
