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.
You were a kid with good taste!
Big Band was so awesome
Same here! My dad actually took me to see BG when I was 10.
You have great taste. I feel sorry for all the other ones.
And just like that, I hear my folks laughing, the ice tinkling and the sweet aroma of bourbon floating from the kitchen. Soon, they were gathered on the porch, trading the stories of the day. What a sweet introduction to good music! ♡
Benny brought alot of smiles during the tough years and post war into the 80's..His music will live longer than any of us..
👍 👍 👍 I am not sure if you are aware of or how i9

Real music by real musicians. Not a bunch of self proclaimed gangsters cursing into a microphone.
Esattamente
It's worse now in '24😂
WHAT TALENT WHAT MEMORIES. WE WILL NEVER SEE THEIR LIKES AGAIN. THERE MEM0RY IS A BLESSING
* "their".
Yes, unfortunately.
Thanks to Benny and his peers millions in my dad's generation grew up hip.
I;ll Always Love Big Band & Benny Goodman, I Was Born In 1943 Way Before My Time But I Sure Love This Music, I Will Until My Dying Day. Love It, Love It, Love It.
Still swinging here at 76. And a virtuoso still. He died a few months later in 1986. What a life; what a musical legacy.
What a great musician who, by his leadership and fine work contributed to the health and vitality of American culture and society,
Listening to this, it’s a mixed blessing. Gratitude that it’s been recorded and we can enjoy it to this day (and forever), and sadness because of what current music has become. Hip hop and gangsta rap? Really?
Those folks saved the world.
I see my trumpet teacher, the late, and truly great, Laurie Frink, playing lead! Not to mention the fact that, thanks to my dad, Benny’s music was mother’s milk to my siblings and me, growing up in Costa Rica.
What a fabulous sound created by this contemporary Benny Goodman orchestra with the Maestro at the helm. You can see Benny enjoying the moment. 🥳😜
Beautiful all the way...
Benny Goodman was a crazy cat..
The King of Swing Forever!
Don’t be that way was my dads favorite!
The King of Swing. This was the stuff back in the day.
Benny Goodman is my favorite of the swing-big band era. He was so far ahead of his time.
Artie Shaw was better.

You are another idiot comparing great players. Stupid comment.
I Will Tell You What I Am 47 Years Old, And Benny Goodman Will Sit In Time, As An Absolutely, Great Artist Exactly 100%
When music was music🥰
Can you imagine the thrill and honor it must be for those younger musicians to be playing with Benny Goodman? This is just great music for sure!
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.
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.
@@writerrad He was also famous for not giving you another solo if you got more applause than he did. He didn't earn the nickname "Benny Badman" for no reason.
とても素敵なジャズです🎵
And we probably wouldn't have people like Bob Mintzer nowadays either, if not for Benny! Bob Mintzer really should be much more famous...
My late parents would take a break from war work and dance to these lovely tunes at the Town Hall!! Enjoy the dance mum & dad!!!😀😀
I remember watching this on PBS. Being raised by my grandparents who lived through his greatest days and had all of his records, this special was definitely not to be missed. It was my introduction to Benny Goodman, and I haven't stopped loving his music ever since.
Now thats swing amazing
The greatest generation. Miss this.
c'est très beau un retour dans le temps c'est triste C'était des vrais artistes et des vrais orchestres formidables
Man, Don't be that way" sounds like the band in their prime. Fab.
Orchestra maravilhosa !!!
Would have loved to lived in that era. Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, etc. Just a few of the great ones.
Thanks for uploading this my Uncle was Hymie Schertzer who was Benny's lead alto sax player starting in 1934 thru 1938, and then years on and off between working for Benny & Tommy Dorsey. Take care always,
Quite a Feat,since they broke up in 1968

REAL TALENT...THIS MUSIC WILL LAST FOREVER
Thé best of all music indeed.
The king of the jazz arrangements.
Undoubtedly a musical genious.
Suitable for dancing, listening at pool's sides or driving american,
german or japanese above 2000
cubic centimeters' beasts.
All of us jazz fanatics, are heavely indebted to the great Benny... even at 85 winters... surviving well thanks to him and derived "gymnastics.
It actually moves me very much how this experienced grandmaster stands there relaxed just enjoying one of his actual last concerts with an audience that has grew older with him...
..has "grown" older...
haaa!
FABULOUS.....THANK YOU for this superb share. Those days of the Big Bands were magical.
Hello Maureen
I first heard this beautiful music "Don't Be That Way" from the Voice of America radio channel more than 50 years ago and today I still love listening to this music more than the first time I heard it. Thanks for posting it crebe44!
Perpetual motion3
it's great to see benny smile looking out at all the dancers-i'm sure some of them were there back in the old paramount theater dates dancing in the aisles times...everybody is having FUN. i worked in a place that featured dancing with music by guy lombardo & his royal canadians & louis armstrong & his all stars ====everybody HAD FUN!!!
!!! Fantástico e Inolvidable * Big Benny "" y el Tiempo de las Grandes Bandas Las emocionea al máximo Gracias por el recuerdo!!!***
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.

my dad a WW II vet loved this guy. still great stuff!!!
Kp loop loop loop u? K on marnul
It seems like four helix engine planes were flying again in a old terrible world but happy at last.😥
What great music ! God bless these guys for doing what they obviously love & make us all happy in the process.
La mejor música del mundo, no habrá otra mejor. Dios los bendiga por haber formado parte de nuestras vidas y haberlas hecho tan agradables.
It's bittersweet to watch...because of how amazing Benny Goodmans' band sounded...and how good Benny looked, enjoying
his band smiling and laughing...and a year later he passes away!
The smiles on the faces of the audience , probably taken in 1985 , say it all. They lived this music , often times during wartime. "The Greatest Generation". Today's arrogant , entitled , coddled generation have no clue.
@@paulwilliams8555 Thank you Paul for your assessment.
👍Großartig 👍 Der Künstler der Klarinette...
Benny Goodman died one year later, so this is one of the last times people experienced his legendary swing sound. You can feel the energy in that room. He was a task-master, even in these later years, as you can hear how tight this band sounds. Just balls-on terrific with a true swing, and he still had his chops on the clarinet!!
Tuve el provilegio de estar en la
Nun
I SAW BENNY AT DISNEYLAND IN CA. IN 1961. HE WAS STILL AS GREAT AS USUAL.
He still looked good and sounded spot on !
Best era of music EVER! IMO.
The golden age of real music!
Época inesquecível. Musicas com melodia.
check out joan chamorro
It's the golden age of music, alive in my house every damned day of the year.
I went to one of the last shows, Ann Arbor at the Power Center..still in the groove shortly before his passing..Truly the King!
Couldn't be better!!
Grew up with my Dad blasting Benny Goodman on his record player all the time. These songs bring back lots of great memories.
Love that smile when he first turns around and sees the people dancing...
You said it, "dancing"
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

Merci !
Echoes of an era that won't be back 😥. Whem the giants settled the earth.
Pure magic 🎩 😊
wow! just as good as ever! everlasting talent!
Fantastic listening! Louie Bellson driving the band along nicely
Matchless!!. Absolutly all around good music. Good enough to psychted-up a drunk sailor; from the Industrial Revolution to our days.
I was born in 1958 and Dad and Mom had this music playing from one of the first RCA Stereo HiFi, not WiFi? Great memories
Amazingingly wonderful what n era 2 live n hear this music
Wonderful band and good musics to dance swings.
Hello Judy
❤ the best band 🎼🎼🎼🎼🌟
Thank God I was born and lived these wonderful years .
Hope that you are still around John , enjoying the greatest music ever made. ...
The great Louie Bellson on drums driving the band along nicely
La musica de mi padre.
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!
I figure I am moved by witnessing Benny Goodman at his best
Another great Benny clarinet with the big band.
I got obsessed with the saxophones in "Don't be that way".
Hey Rey Ateo ....your comment made me think of Adolphe Sax , the man who invented the Saxaphone and who died in the 1890s , never realizing the overwhelming influence his work would have on 20th century music ....
I SOOO LOVE BIG BAND! ALL THE GREATS, ALONGSIDE BENNY! I was a professional entertainer, multi-instrumentalist, for over 40 years, then, a radio presenter with millions of listeners. Recording over 8 albums, and, 3 double albums.
Thank you for your enthusiasm and good comments.
Excelente interpretación musical, y melodías ❤
Hi and Glen were an icon of the american spirit and mark an época of glory for the american music living forever budys 👍👍👍

Ogni altro commento sarebbe inutile
That's classic Jazz
The king of swing is an understatement!
The 40's music, clothes, dancing is my ultimate fantasy !!!!⏳
Still a great sound - thanks
Hello Theresa, How are you doing?
Benny was one of a kind. Interviewed Benny for Radio in 1974 in Lynn, Ma. where he was appearing. He was cordial to a degree, even signed a couple of my old 78 rpms. Then a knock came to the door and a man came in with a tray of 2 glasses, one with ice a a purple bag of Crown Royal. He then said that the interview was over, and was escorted out.
And if this date of taping is accurate - he was gone just 8 months and a week later. Amazing.
Judging by the clothes, it looks mid-80s. ✔️
WTF?
Bravo!!!!
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.
MAGNIFICO HOMENAJE CON ESTA BELLA E INOLVIDABLE MUSICA
GERMAN QUINTERO Gracias German por tus palabras, saludos.
Muy buenos
pilar Herrera Gracias Pili, besos.
Ismael Rinaudo Es un gusto leer tu comentario, es evidente que sobre Goodman pensamos igual, gracias y un abrazo.
What wonderful music Benny made, and how great to see everyone dancing..........together!!!
In dead, Jazz started like that. People dancing. After, in the half part they started to listen the music. In that moment was the first chamber music (invented by Benny Goodman). Then revolution has started !!
Indeed.
That is music!
My second favorite big band song off all-time behind Moonlight Serenade
Espectacular. . . .Vida y Música de B-Goodman la debo haber visto más de 100 veces y creo que me quedo corto. . .Qué música, que swing. . . .!!
Outstanding.
OUTSTANDING !!!
Maravillosa orquesta y maravillosa música. Mis respetos para Beny Goodman Saludos desde Guatemala
I loved the introductory contrast between the reeds and brass. One section would play puncturing harmony whilst the other let the melody flow through. Wonderful.
素晴らしい🎉🎉🎉❤
Espectacular la orquesta y su figura principal!!! Muchas gracias!!!!❤😂
I miss this world, please come back
Beautiful 💐 😍 🤩
Mă simt îndrăgostit de muzica.Un "vinovat" e You Tube.Trebuie perpetuat așa ceva.
