by
Benny Goodman
The fifth volume of material taken from the tapes that Benny Goodman willed to Yale's Music Library is, for no particular reason, a double-CD set. Two separate and somewhat forgotten Goodman combos are featured: a fine ten-piece unit from 1959-60 that includes trumpeter Jack Sheldon, trombonist Bill Harris and Flip Phillips on tenor, and an ...

Benny Goodman

This superior set dates from a slightly later period and features a sextet with trombonist Lou McGarity and pianist Mel Powell (the ...

Benny Goodman Sextet
One of Benny Goodman's greatest combos was the sextet that he led in 1945. With Red Norvo on vibes, either Teddy Wilson or Mel Powell on piano and the humming bass solos of Slam Stewart, this unit had a lot of personality and yet allowed Goodman to operate throughout as the lead voice. This set has 14 performances by this highly enjoyable band, ...

Arne Domnérus
It is not surprising that altoist Arne Domnerus (who doubles on clarinet) and Bob Wilber (heard here on alto, soprano and clarinet) make for a mutually inspiring team, for both of the musicians are flexible and swing-based. Although Wilber contributed a few originals and there are a couple of obscurities, the bulk of this sextet set with pianist ...

Benny Goodman
Benny Goodman's discography is too large to condense into a 12-song package, but considering what is included on this CD, it's not too shabby. There's a good cross section of different bands Goodman was involved in, and the selections include all-time classics "On the Sunny Side of the Street," "Don't Be That Way," "Nagasaki," and the immortal ...
