@@that70sgirl90 Benny Goodman was 51 years old at the time, still in his prime and still doing great things with both small combos (as seen here) and full orchestras. Happy New Year!
@@michaeltuz608 I thought he would've been around that age. Thank you for always sharing. I always enjoy reading your comments. You are very knowledgeable about music. I always say, "music and food bring people together." Music is the portal to the Soul. Happy New Years Eve! 🥂
Thank you! Goodman and Norvo. Thrilling. The story of how, twenty years earlier, they and several compeers sneaked into the studio after midnight to record some Beiderbecke pieces which the studio thought too abstruse to be bothered with can be found in Richard Sudhalter's indispensable book, Lost Chords.
I have yet to find a recording of this anywhere where the tempo is closer to what the composer intended. I'm not complaining about the way Benny Goodman and his orchestra or Les Paul and Mary Ford recorded the song -- they're greats for a reason! 😃
Update: I did a search immediately after posting my comment and found three versions that are closer to the sheet music's original tempo, with The Chordettes also including the verse to the song.
I'd still listen to Benny all day long
I'm a 60s kid but grew up listening to everything and Benny Goodman was part of my everything. 🤎🎼🖤
Wow! Benny Goodman on clarinet, Red Norvo on vibes ... music doesn't get any better than this!
Thank you so much for this!
How old was Benny Goodman when he appeared here on The Ed Sullivan Show?

I can officially say, "Happy New Year!" 🥂 🎊
Red Norvo!! The guy just seemed to glide so effortlessly on the vibes! Great rendition of this great jazz standard by the Cats!

I used to call him "Mr. Goodbar'.
Thank you for sharing! 💖

When kids music became the parents music
Awesome!
Beautiful 🤩 👏
There is such limited information provided on the performers. That’s Red Norvo on vibraphone. As if Benny Goodman was playing by himself.
Has anyone heard Benny at Yale,he and the boys were cooking that night,look for it in second hand record stores.
👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'd be interested ro know the personnel besides Benny and Red Norvo (vibraharp)
