my parents loved Benny Goodman and I learned to love his music too,its a shame that I never knew he out lived all the other big band composers,I would have liked to see him in concert.
One of the first albums my brother and I had was a 45 rpm 8 disc copy of the 38 concert we got for Christmas in 1951. Ive still got the dang thing! My favorite one of course is Sing Sing Sing with Benny, Harry James, Gene Krupa and Jesse Stacey's remarkable piano solo.
thanks, trumcrum, I was wondering, so THAT was Chris Griffin. And Toots Mondello--he played lead alto for Goodman in the early-mid 30s. and Zoot Sims over on the far right in the tenor chair--some giants in this band!
Trumpets are Chris Griffin (Lead & Original Carnegie Hall) John Frosk, Marvin Stamm and Bernie Privin. Bobby Hackett is not in this trumpet section on this video. Toots Mondello is playing lead alto on this video. Credit where credit is due.
That's also 1936-39 BG veteran Chris Griffin along with Johnny Frosk and Marvin Stamm rounding out the trumpets. Another long standing BG alumnus Eddie Bert is on trombone along with Buddy Morrow and Paul Fralise in the trombone section. TD & BG veteran Walt Levinsky is on 2nd Alto and BG veteran Sol Schlinger is on Baritone sax. The legendary Toots Mondello is back on Lead Alto (playing the same chair he held with BG's band from 1939-40 among other periods). Bernie Privin takes the famous trumpet solos at the beginning and in the middle of KPS, and Buddy Morrow on lead taking the trombone solo.
There's a lot of outright jazz and big band stars sitting in that band... just glancing at who's in it through the theme and beginning of King Porter I see Stan Getz, Buddy Morrow, with Bernie Privin taking the trumpet solos on KPS... and I'm sure there's more I haven't made out yet.
I have the LPs with all these orchestras with Bernie, and just wondered if he had played for any of the other Greats. He was one of those many unsung musicians, who after a phone call could sit in with any orchestra at short notice, play brilliant 16 bar solos, then do his job as a key anchor of the orchestra. So glad to have been able to have communicated with the nephew of Bernie Previn.
My favorite band that he was a part of with which he played a *LOT* of trumpet solos too has to be the GREAT Artie Shaw (original "Begin the Beguine") band of 1938-39.
@clskmstg - Well, in his opening remarks, Benny refers to this performance as "the 36th anniversary of that memorable concert we did here" so I would assume that 1974 actually is correct.
I don't think Carnegie Hall (or any other classical concert venue) is the right place to listen to this kind of jazz. This is music meant not just to be listened to but danced to or at least moved to.
allright,Zoot Sims is a great,but he unbalances all the section,playing too loud over the lead. hear the first sax special...Don't forget that 1st alto is Toost Mondello and 1st tenor is no less than Al Klink....they KNEW section work!

Yes, sir. That's my Uncle Bernie playing solo on trumpet. May G-d rest his soul.
bernie privin was a great player and played with just about every major big band you can name
I'm only 19 and Benny Goodman is one of my heroes!
it’s been 11 years give us an update
These elderly gentlemen are reducing me to tears
Excelente orquesta la del gran Maestro Benny Goodman mis respetos y felicitaciones para el y sus músicos

Buck Pizzareli on guitar, Al Klink and Zoot Sims on Tenor sax

I believe this concert was in 1978 to celebrate 40 years. Great post.
this is awesome what a classic
And two arrangements by ?... by the king of swing arrangers : Mr Fletcher HENDERSON, my inspiration for ever ; RIP my dear Fletcher ! Marc from France

Cool to see Toots on video!
Amazing.
Awesome!
Amaziiing Goodman!

Thanks for the credits for the musician link up. Much appreciated.
i think so. what a great job he did with Artie Shaw back in 1938. note Al Klink on tenor.one of the Glenn miller's men
sempre emozionate Benny, nella sezione dei fiati sax si intravede zoot sims!"

@wafflecushioned I'm 15 and I love Goodman, too! Such profound talent... The ageless legend isn't just for pensioners, at all.
looks like Buddy Morrow on trombone solo
Grande Genio do Clarinete - Wonderfull

hommefriday
excelente interpretación y la orquesta. muy buena
Today, 16 January 2013, is the 75th anniversary of the original 1938 concert that Goodman was speaking about on the film.
Wow! Zoot Sims.
Sonhar é viver !!!! LAVA A ALMA !!!!
Apart from Benny Goodman, my Uncle Bernie played with Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, and of course, perhaps most prominently, with Glenn Miller.
My favorite band that he was a part of with which he played a *LOT* of trumpet solos too has to be the GREAT Artie Shaw (original "Begin the Beguine") band of 1938-39.
,, absolutamente maravilhoso
@4205lr It definitely *is* Bernie! Great!
Lets not forget that it was some of Fletcher Hendersons scores that got him going.
@wafflecushioned That's how old Benny was when he first went on tour. I'm 19 as well.
If I'm not mistaken, that's also the late, GREAT Buddy Morrow on trombone who takes the solo.
It sure sounds like Buddy. Video is very poor.
Na banda, o extraordinário sax de Zoot Sims
@clskmstg - Well, in his opening remarks, Benny refers to this performance as "the 36th anniversary of that memorable concert we did here" so I would assume that 1974 actually is correct.
The lead alto at Carnegie hall was Hymie Schertzer,NOT Toots Mondello
Is there anything that can be done to increase the volume! it's very low
"Let's Dance"? LET'S DANCE!!!
Well - At least they had the brains to videotape it this time around.
*Duh* video tape didn't exist in 1938.
@@bblegacy Smartass; they obviously had the ability to videorecord a concert in 1938. It just would have been expensive and a pain to do right.
Then listen to Benny Carter "Further Definitions"
The trumpet soloist looks like Bernie Privin
I have LPs with Bernie playing with other Big Bands. Could you please let me have the names of some of the great bands he played with?
only 2 saxophonists are mentioned.
i was at that concert.Doesn't come up to expectations
Goodman drank to much wine
.maybe. But i have 30 years as 1st tenor in a saxophone section anyhow.
Wonderfull footage; the volumes way to low on your video.
I don't think Carnegie Hall (or any other classical concert venue) is the right place to listen to this kind of jazz. This is music meant not just to be listened to but danced to or at least moved to.
allright,Zoot Sims is a great,but he unbalances all the section,playing too loud over the lead. hear the first sax special...Don't forget that 1st alto is Toost Mondello and 1st tenor is no less than Al Klink....they KNEW section work!
You know your band members, well done! Very few people can name these artists anymore. Al Klink was my grandfather.
Hank Jones was by no means a "Hack!" heheheh!
zoot sims
Huh?? I think Benny knew where he was.
Why not the whole concert ?
Zoot Sims is surely great,but in the sax passage of King Porter Stomp he plays too loud,unbalancing the section
Dito
DOES ANY ONE HEAR ANYTHING?
You don't know anything about sound engineers, do you?! BTW, if you want to hear some incredible "section work," listen to Zoot "Plays Four Altos."
Hear nothing....lousy recording
