    Back in the late '70s, I was probably the only kid in my high school that preferred the sounds of Goodman, Ellington, Shaw and all the rest of the best of that era. I collected every LP reissue of their recordings and believe me, you'd not find a single AC/DC, Aerosmith or KISS record in there. To me, that stuff was--well, I can't use the word here! I consider myself very lucky in that I fell in love with this fantastic music and the people playing it.

      In the music world especially among musicians who worked for "The Benny" in the 1930s and 1940s there are many, many awful stories told of his inconsiderate, unkind, and dictatorial behavior to even the most esteemed musicians in his bands. One story a local sax player here in Florida now passed away tells is of practicing with the band for a recording at Goodman's Connecticut mansion. Goodman was married to John Hammond Sr's sister, a member of the Vanderbilt family and had a quite nice mansion based on his wife's wealth. The band was out in the garden practicing and rehearsing. Band members started complaining that it was too cold and they should go in the house that had rooms big enough to hold the band, Brass players in particular who felt pain in their lips blowing on cold mouth pieces got adamant. After a while, the Benny stopped the practice and said he agreed it was too cold out there. The Benny went into the house and came out wearing a sweater, and then demanded the practice go on int he cold garden oblivious to further complaints of the cold band members cracking their lips on cold trumpets and trombones. This kind of inconsiderateness was a general feature of stories band members have had about Goodman.

    • @writerrad
      @writerrad 6 лет назад +7

      In part he was very single focused in a determination that got him fromn extreme poverty already supporting his parents when he was a child to success. His dictatorial ways as well as high musicianship made him popular with composers and arrangers. Fletcher Henderson, the great black jazzman who wrote Goodman's arrangement iof the piece we hear today, liked working for Goodman because when he had his own band Henderson's soloists who include Armstrong and Coleman Hawkins and briefly lester Young among so many other greats, would add their own innovations and improvisations to the scores, whereas Goodman would force his players to follow the score as it was written.

    A Great Artist recognizes it immediately: from the earliest notes, from the modes of interpretation and execution of a piece, from its rare, unique style, unmistakable to originality, fantasy and creativity. Elements, all of which contribute together to place them among the most "Great" Artists that linger over the entire musical artistic firmament.

      LOL musicians and singer who worked for the Benny are more likely to talk about "the ray," the nasty look that would come over Benny's face that meant that in his eyes you were finished with him and he had written you not only out of the band, not only out of music, but out of the human race. He was not a gentle humble or kindly soul. People dancing means people paying and he was a popular entertainer trying to bring people to have a good time, not an art for art's sake person, although his clarinet playing was of such a high level that in the 1950s when the money drive wasn't so great he played Clarinet solos with major symphonies

    There's a brilliant Harry James version of this song on here, and for years I've listened to it. James' version is a lot pacier and more showy - but this Goodman version is the correct tempo. The tension in the beat is there, which makes it hard to keep still - which is what swing is all about. I'm now a convert to this!

    Hotel Marriot Marquis, Time Square, New York, en este lugar en el año 1985 se le hizo un homenaje a un "Maestro de maestros" el Sr. Benny Goodman(1909-1986), demostrándonos en este video, que la calidad no se pierde nunca.
    Como el 1 de Diciembre de 1934 , cuando Goodman irrumpió en un programa radial con "Let´s dance" (Bailemos) que luego fue su apertura de siempre en sus conciertos y luego interpretó "Don´t be that way"(No seas así) de su autoría.
    Es inevitable al ver a este gran ser humano y genio musical, pensar en las obras de Bela Bartok, Stravinsky, Mozart y tantas otras interpretaciones que nos dejó en discos. Le legó muchos derechos de reproducción de su música grabada a los alumnos de la Universidad de Yale, que seguramente no lo olvidarán por sus enseñanzas musicales.
