COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Outstanding Big Band submitted by Meginator on August 17, 2020, 7:21pm Benny Goodman is an absolute legend in swing music, and this recording, flush with the electric energy of a live performance, shows why he ranks among the best bandleaders of the Big Band Era. The various configurations and combos highlight different instrumentalists throughout the ensemble and showcase their versatility as the music bridges the stylistic gap from the 1920s to the 1930s. Goodman’s proficiency on the clarinet, and the use of vibraphone, distinguishes his band from others of the era and really set this album apart from its contemporaries. This is absolutely outstanding music, through and through.
