Benny Goodman Quintet Live

Back


This is a performance of the Benny Goodman Quintet, featuring Benny Goodman himself, Gene Krupa, and Lionel Hampton. I think that's all that needs to be said.

When Lionel Hampton starts jumping up and down at the end I want to jump up and down too. What a great jam! This is one of my favorites. Thanks for posting.

Fantastic...

Does anyone know if this performance (or a another by this band) is available to buy? Preferably on DVD.

I have this on VHS. It is an hour long made for TV program called "The All Star Swing Festival" which was hosted by Doc Severinson. The Benny Goodman Quartet was just one segment within that hour, and some of the other numbers they performed were Avalon, Moonglow, and (I think) Memories of You.

I really don't know if it's available any more.

Goodman speaks with the clarinet as Davis did with the trumpet and Coltrane with the sax

"I'm a Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas, You ought to see me strut my stuff" as the song goes..Yes, We can still learn today from all the old masters- Goodman, Wilson, Hampton, Krupa, Duvivier, Etc.

Some French-made ligatures for the Clarinet have the same "flat" area where the reed rests against the ligature. It doesn't matter where the screws are facing per say, just that it holds the reed in place with a flat area.
