{"product_id":"the-birth-of-swing","title":"The Birth Of Swing","description":"Amazon.com\n\nAs a phenomenon in popular music, the swing era can be dated from one night, August 21, 1935, when Benny Goodman's big band arrived to a tumultuous throng at Los Angeles's Palomar Ballroom, the young audience inspired by his broadcasts on an East Coast radio show that had already been cancelled. It would begin the greatest period of popularity ever achieved by a jazz style, and Goodman's was the band most responsible. All of Goodman's RCA recordings from this period are included in this three-CD set, which contains some of the popular songs of the day as well as much inspired jazz. Goodman's clarinet swirls elegantly through the music, and the horn sections are precise and swinging in arrangements by Fletcher and Horace Henderson and Jimmy Mundy. There are electric moments from Bunny Berigan's brief stay in the band, while Gene Krupa's drumming is a constant stimulus to swing. --Stuart Broomer\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002WGI\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000002WGI.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Benny Goodman\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
