Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this

Of the 22 tracks, there are many highlights including "Body and Soul" from his trio (with Teddy Wilson and Gene Krupa), plus two songs from his legendary 1938 Carnegie Hall concert. ...

Yale Recordings, Vol. 5

Yale Recordings, Vol. 5 (1959) more music like this

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 ...

The Essential Benny Goodman [Bluebird/Legacy]

The Essential Benny Goodman [Bluebird/Legacy] (2007) more music like this

by Benny Goodman

One of at least seven entirely different compilations that brandish the word "Essential" in their titles, this double-disc anthology of 40 classic swing performances actually does convey the essence of Benny Goodman, and is therefore highly recommended. The recordings, most of them cut in the Victor and Columbia studios between 1934 and 1945, are ...

Small Groups: 1941-1945

Small Groups: 1941-1945 (1941) more music like this

by Benny Goodman

When one thinks of Benny Goodman's small groups, it is generally his original Trio and Quartet (with Lionel Hampton, Teddy Wilson and Gene Krupa) or his sextet with Charlie Christian that comes immediately to mind. This superior set dates from a slightly later period and features a sextet with trombonist Lou McGarity and pianist Mel Powell (the ...

Slipped Disc (1945-46)

Slipped Disc (1945-46) (1945) more music like this

by 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, ...

Rapturous Reeds

Rapturous Reeds (1978) more music like this

by 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 ...

The Greatest Jazz Clarinet (2008) more music like this

by 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 ...
