About this item

Amazon.com The incredible momentum of the peak Benny Goodman Orchestra is on full display with these classic cuts from 1937 and 1938. In Harry James, Goodman had a bona fide trumpet star, one to spur him to great heights. The band meanwhile was honed to a fine edge and was the perfect vehicle to drive Fletcher Henderson's propulsive arrangements. Many of Goodman's most famous studio recordings appear on this collection: "I Want to Be Happy," "Sugarfoot Stomp," "Sing, Sing, Sing" (a Jimmy Mundy arrangement heard here six months before the legendary Carnegie Hall version), and a pair of cuts from Gene Krupa's final Goodman session, "Don't Be That Way" and "One O'Clock Jump." This is Goodman's big band at a commercial and artistic apex, and a brilliant example of its singular alchemy: that ability to sound both supremely rehearsed and spectacularly fresh simultaneously, which, not coincidentally, was also Goodman's greatest asset as a clarinet soloist. --Marc Greilsamer Product description AUDIO CD - COMPILATION - MONO
