Duke Ellington once asked Count Basie if he thought that a composition he had just written was too difficult to be performed. Count Basie's response? "Take it to Benny Goodman. If he can't sight-read it then it's too difficult." That's how much other musicians and band leaders respected Benny Goodman.
J'ai 76ans, quand j'ecoute du Benny Goodman je me mets aussitot à esquisser quelques pasde swing, pas aussi leste que quand j'avais 20 ans mais je danse. C'est comme une messe.... Bien le bonjour à tous ceux ou celles qui ecoutent cette compil en ce moment. Dieu vous bénisse.
Я прочитал коменты, все на английском, русскоязычные тоже любят джаз, я тоже люблю свинговую, тем более Бени Гудмана, у нас тогда трудно было найти пластинки, ну мы доставали, я тогда жил в Баку, и к нам приезжали джавые группы и я старался не пропусксть эти концерты. Тогда у нас очень был популярен фильм "Серенада солнечной долины. Да я и сейчач слушаю эту музыку особенно Лунную серенаду. Всем мира и добра. Нсибарь Новосибирск.
I wasn’t even born when this music was a hit. Sad many oldies radio stations don’t go back this far, because this is good music regardless when it was written.
I’m 80 & remember my mom & dad dancing & Daddy singing. Sometimes we girls got to go, what fun we had. Even in my 40s I waited for the swing to be played. It never grows old even if I do 💃💃💃💃
The opening track, Sing Sing Sing, is one of the most enduring swing hits. It is made all that much better by Gene Krupa's unmistakable drumming. .... and of course Benny's clarinet. Even though this was from 84 years ago, it can still be heard and appreciated for its high quality.
"He's also in my eyes the greatest jazz musician." Still having trouble with the ears and eyes? If so, I can turn you on to some great physicians that can help. Dig?
If you're gonna have one all-time favorite, Benny's as good as any. I saw him live about 50 years ago. He played for about two and a half hours, and every note that came out of that horn was butter.
I remember me grandparents dancing at this, and several years after, I played drums with me friends of the jazz ensemble and we played this for them and they sweep the floor with a great performance, omg the ovation for them was huge
11 years ago today dad, you went to swing with Benny Goodman and all your favourites, we all miss and love you. Keep the cat's dancing!!...🎼🎵🎶🎙🥁🪕🎻🎺🎹🎸🪗🎷📻🪘
@@gispel7058 nowadays everyone dresses like trash and its all about some pathetic champaigne socialism with complete apathy... oh what happens when standards slip
There's a story to this. On January 16, 1938, Benny was leading and playing in his quiet manner but Gene Krupa, the drummer, got tired of playing the usual dance tempo and, during one of the breaks he went wild and the band followed him, breaking out into real swing at a fast step. The audience, instead of slow dancing, went wild! Benny saw this result and accepted this change!
Benny Goodman, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and so many others. This music, way before I was born, was the best. And let me not forget Billie Holiday. And please bring back swing music.
My father passed on his love of Goodman and the big bands on to me, I've passed it on to my daughter, and hope it will pass on to the grandkids. This is simply lovely music.
I lived in SF in the 60’s the summer of love BS. Instead of being a drug addled follower I listened to KNBR radio and DJ Dave Niles who had a three hour show on weekends dedicated to the big bands. I learned all about them thanks to Dave Niles who passed just last year at 91. I’m forever grateful RIP Dave
In the early 70's in Montreal as a teenager I would buy all the records of Pink Floyd, The Stones, Alice Cooper and The Who and go see them with my friends at the Forum. But, at home, in my bedroom I would listen to all these big band tunes on an ancient gramophone I brought down from the attic. I had found boxes full of Bluebird 78's in my grandparents basement. First time I heard 'Swing, swing, swing" I think I almost lost bladder control. Of course my parents and my friends were troubled by this... weirdness! And my other, most secret musical taste was early Baroque music. I would take my cassette player deep into the park on a nice day and lie there listening to Lully, Vivaldi and the gang. Then came opera.
The clarinet is the best sound machine ever to be created ,thank you very much mr inventor and thank you very much to the likes of Benny here, may he r i p !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0
The clarinet was invented by Willie Humphrey. Just before (or maybe just after) he invented jazz music. That according to Willie himself of course. If you don't know to whom I'm referring, you haven't been around long enough.😂
ALL of Benny's band did an immense job, but, in my humble opinion, it was GENE KRUPA'S fantastic drumming that was the key to Sing, Sing, Sing's gigantic popularity then and now in 2023!
An era that has gone forever,it wasn't just the brilliant musicians,it was the socialogical enviroment,in other words the type of society that then prevailed.No more Armstrong,Basie,Goodman etc.Gone into the ether never to be seen again,but thanks to science the music will live on,we just have make sure the young appreciate it.
When I was a teen, I felt the way you do. My peers were all listening to R&R, and I tried to listen to it too so that I could fit in. I just couldn't do it. So I went back to listening to swing, to the Big Bands of the 1030's and 1940's, and the great crooners of those years. I felt much better for doing so.
I'm 45 and felt that way when I was 21. If you like swing watch swing kids it's a fabulous movie both for the underground swing culture in Europe. I love swing I grew up on stories of my grandma growing up in the south and sneaking out to go swing dance when she was a teen. She even seen Elvis live once in the very early years and even tho she was married and no longer living at home when her dad found out the whole family was up in arms. She taught me quite a few moves and could still cut a rug even after going blind later in life all the way till the day she died. Glenn miller in the mood was her favorite song of all time.
Find east coast swing events. Yes it's mostly old folks, but there are almost always at least some of us young crowd. If you go to a event in a city you'll find mostly 30 and below.
I did when I was 20...decades ago in the 70s...I was pretty much in a minority then. This is glorious High Art Musicianship..inspiring, life enhancing Wow!!!!❤
Used to play this music in high school swing band. I grew up listening to this music--my parents were born in '23 and '27, and this was their generation's music. We had plenty of 78's and 33-1/3's. My parents enjoyed every minute of it--and so did I (and still do)! BTW, I still have the records (and a means to play both speeds).😎
Good Music is timeless. I still have Stereo equipment that's 49 years old, Sony and BSR 33-45 & 78 rpm! But my health is failing so RUclips is easier for me til I go up yonder...
My father would have this music blaring on Saturday mornings when I was a pre-teen growing up in the 70‘s. Never failed to wake me up. I hated it because all I wanted was my rock n roll. All these years later, I still love my rock music but I have an appreciation for this as well. Thanks Dad!!
My dad and mom were avid jazz listeners. My dad founded a group in college that only played jazz music. This is what I was brought up on. Now in my upper 70’s it brings me closer to them. Dad eventually founded his own jazz band ( he played piano and guitar) and they played at my first wedding. What a gift. And what an album library I amassed. Now my daughter has found Bennie Goodman. She says it fills her heart.
This is the music that my brothers listen to when they came back from World War 2 my mother was 39 years old when I was born and had been kids for 19 years my oldest brother was in the Marine Core a year before I was born and that’s how I was introduced to big band music I was born 1941
My father loved Goodman! He was a kid when Goodman was young and collected Swing records. He had Goodman, Glenn Miller, the Mills Brothers. They had no record covers. But when he had to move into an apartment for hospice all his prized records were stolen. I still have dad’s 87 year old clarinet he got to try to play like him when he was nine so that was 1936, but just squeaked. The case is so old the handle fell off. At Music Carnival in 1975 here I am that shut down sometime after, the family saw Benny Goodman and it was a thrill for me and dad was like a kid in a candy store. He loved seeing his idol. When I hear Big Band music I think of my parents and uncle who were kids then and dad playing his big stacks of original Big Band records. And my parents could Jitterbug real good. That was their era. Mom could also Polka too.
Tell you what Mexican Boy, check out Mongo Santamaria, Dave Valentine, or just about anything from Tito Puente. Latin jazz is the most happening jazz these days I'd say.
My mom and dad turned this on during the fifties and sixties which is when I was growing up. My brother went on to play piano and clarinet. Me guitar. Great music and must have been fantastic back then. Until the war broke.
Wonderful music from the King of Swing . This was back in the days when records were made successful by musicians, rather than by the skill of recording engineers' In those days, if you couldn't play you didn't eat.
💌This feels like a love letter from my uncle George who served in WWII. When I was a teenager he taught me how to dance the foxtrot and would bring me chocolates on Valentines Day. Scrolling through photos of Chicago in the 1940's and remembering him telling me how he worked at The Uptown theater just before the war started. He met my aunt Hazel who took tickets down the street at The Riviera. Love stories in Chicago thrill my heart. It's my kind of town. 🌹
This is *so* classy and stylish! People who listened to this had rather upper-crust tastes! I can tell Benny and his orchestra really put their heart and soul into this production!
This is a wonderfully music, this is the clasic music of swing times, Mr Bennett Goodman is my prefer clarinet interpreter , Good for you Master!!!!! Many thanks Mr Benny Goodman, your surname says all, you are a very good Man!!!!!
Just listened to Sing. That's the clearest sound I've ever heard of that piece, and I've listened to it on many sites. Someone did a fantastic job remastering the recording. . . . Now I see that the same is true for the other tracks.
Я моряк родня тоже моряки как же прекрасна эта музыка и как мы отжигали не только на палубе под эту мелодию спасибо преподавательнице по танцам за то что и танцевать научила и привила хороший вкус к музыке
wasn't born yet .But turning on swing makes me appreciate the American effort in that awful war. How very sad it was absolutely forbidden for German's to listen to it.
and after the War. I was born in 1940 (London) and although exact memory fails me, I do recall seeing him live at some stage? Above all I remember him giving on of the small group playing a real rocket for some error or other. Wish I could remember the details of where and when!
I growed up in the sixties. My parents loved this stile. Later I became a dancer and made different choreographies ( most tap dance) to these wonderful swinging sounds.😊
Feel That Swing. In the yesteryears my hometown had the biggest dancefloor between Boston and Montreal. Benny and all the greats stepped off the train to play. If I had a time machine...
Marvelous music. Goodman was my idle as I played clarinet in the high school band. The band as a whole loved to play these tunes. Where else could we get out and swing. Closest I ever came to hearing him was a Woodie Herman concert at Chautauqua in western New York. Also the Glenn Miller Band at a Policeman's Ball. Gene Krupa was definitely a top grade drummer.
I have lots of versions of Sing, Sing, Sing, and every version seems to be different but the best was at the Carnegie Hall, and one of the parts that 'get me' are Krupa's drums and the time when Benny hits the high C that you have to listen for because it only is hearable for a split second! I was born in 1944 so my generation was the last of the big band era and the first of the rock and roll generation. How lucky can you get...
Benny Goodman was the greatest clarinet player in the world. When I was a kid playing clarinet in the school band, I would dream of playing like him. My first CD was a Benny Goodman album. This video takes me back to that time when I had so much possibility in front of me. Different compared to now. I had tons of hope. Now I don't play clarinet anymore and I'm sure I've lost all my embouchure strength, so I'd be miserable in a concert band these days. But one never knows. I may yet pick up my clarinet and relearn it. 😉
Hey! I bet Benny Goodman had his moments of doubt where he lost his strength. But there's a reason why we listen to him even today. Because despite everything, he still loved music, and he picked up that clarinet and played it to his heart's content. Don't give up. Even if you are miserable, remember that Benny Goodman would have never thought he'd have an impact on a kid to play like him and he'd be heartbroken to see you give up on your dreams.
Anni addietro ascoltando una radio serale che trasmetteva solo musica jazz mi sono resa conto che quella musica mi piaceva. Andando più a fondo alla questione, mi sono accorta che tutti i brani che avevo contrassegnato come quelli che mi piacevano erano suonati dalla stessa orchestra, ovvero dall' orchestra di Benny Goodman. E così ho preso atto che il mio autore preferito è Benny Goodman. Io non ho studiato musica e il mio orecchio va a sensazioni (ovvero questa musica mi piace, questa no), non so perciò spiegare quali siano i meriti attribuibili a questo musicista, ma evidentemente esistono e devono pure essere parecchi. Faccio notare che in casa c' erano, ben allineati sulla libreria,molti trentatré giri (quando si arriva dalla preistoria si possono raccontare anche queste cose) di Glenn Miller, ma il mio orecchio si rifiutava di ascoltarli adducendo a scusa che la sensazione che gli trasmettevano era di troppa perfezione unita a qualche cosa di geometrico che rendevano l' esecuzione "spigolosa", mentre quella di Benny Goodman risultava essere al contrario ugualmente bella ma "morbida" e per cui piacevole. Un grazie di cuore perciò a Benny Goodman e a tutta la sua musica. Sono le ore nove e venticinque a.m.
These"big bands"from yesteryear(Glen Miller-Tommy,jimmy Dorsey),etc.etc is still kickin' some serious butt today.Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too everyone from Orem,UT.🗽👍💕

I read that when Benny and his boys played this for the first time, it was at Carnegie Hall, in 1934, or 1937, and the crowd went wild!
Look for “the Benny Goodman Story” starring Steve Allen and Donna Reed (1954). Great movie!

He met my aunt Hazel who took tickets down the street at The Riviera. Love stories in Chicago thrill my heart. It's my kind of town. 🌹
さすがベスト❣️
もう全曲私のハートに刺さりすぎて、多分一生分のアドレナリン出ました。
This is *so* classy and stylish! People who listened to this had rather upper-crust tastes! I can tell Benny and his orchestra really put their heart and soul into this production!
tengo 52 AÑOS y me ciento muy bien pues eta música me hace soñar
}me fascina esta música, me encanta ser así y bailar al ritmo de esta música
First band I ever listened to. Gene was best drummer ever. Singer Marther Tilton was my first love .lol.
This is a wonderfully music, this is the clasic music of swing times, Mr Bennett Goodman is my prefer clarinet interpreter , Good for you Master!!!!!
Many thanks Mr Benny Goodman, your surname says all, you are a very good Man!!!!!
Maravilhoso! Tenho 70 anos e junto com meu pai ouvia estas músicas, relembrar e maravilhoso. Obrigada.
Benny's probably playing his great music to GOD in. Heaven
If he is a Born again Christian

A pesar de mis 78 años, esta música me ha bailar. Música mágica.
aqui con otros 78.
My introduction to Big Band Music was watching saturday morning cartoons. Always had this music in the background. Good times. Late 50s ,early 60s.
BRAVO DE 50 DE ANI MA BUCUR DE MUZICA TA. VA FI VIE SI PESTE 100!
Just listened to Sing. That's the clearest sound I've ever heard of that piece, and I've listened to it on many sites. Someone did a fantastic job remastering the recording. . . . Now I see that the same is true for the other tracks.
These guys have been real peace-builders in the whole world!
Benny Goodman was my dad's favorite musician as a young man in the 1930's.
Я моряк родня тоже моряки как же прекрасна эта музыка и как мы отжигали не только на палубе под эту мелодию спасибо преподавательнице по танцам за то что и танцевать научила и привила хороший вкус к музыке
So so uplifting. He and the other swing bands made enduring the War almost humanly feasible.
🎶 salute. M. Illinois.
wasn't born yet .But turning on swing makes me appreciate the American effort in that awful war. How very sad it was absolutely forbidden for German's to listen to it.
and after the War. I was born in 1940 (London) and although exact memory fails me, I do recall seeing him live at some stage? Above all I remember him giving on of the small group playing a real rocket for some error or other. Wish I could remember the details of where and when!
Swing music promotes slavery. plz delete this music and all other such things from ur life

Brings a tear to my eye everytime reminds me of papa
Was gut ist ,ist gut,egal wieviel Zeit vergeht.
un grand respect a nos a nos anciens qui savaient s'amuser et avec respect d'autrui
I growed up in the sixties. My parents loved this stile. Later I became a dancer and made different choreographies ( most tap dance) to these wonderful swinging sounds.😊
Feel That Swing. In the yesteryears my hometown had the biggest dancefloor between Boston and Montreal. Benny and all the greats stepped off the train to play. If I had a time machine...
Love reading comments, the passion, memories, and feelings music evokes in people. I can feel it right through me now as I listen
This helps me get through those crazy morning drives dealing with absolute crazy drivers…helps me keep my cool! 😂
great clarinetist great arranger great orchestra .
Its breathtaking, the man was a master !!!
Marvelous music. Goodman was my idle as I played clarinet in the high school band. The band as a whole loved to play these tunes. Where else could we get out and swing. Closest I ever came to hearing him was a Woodie Herman concert at Chautauqua in western New York. Also the Glenn Miller Band at a Policeman's Ball. Gene Krupa was definitely a top grade drummer.
Wonderful uplifting music. Bless you for putting this music on here for all to listen to at any time
Musik wie es sich jeder wuenscht, Vergangene Zeit die für immer LEBT
The Four great of Swing never will die. Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington.
Super duper! Reminds me of father - (born 1914) -- always in the music - played every instrument - but not accordion /SF
I have lots of versions of Sing, Sing, Sing, and every version seems to be different but the best was at the Carnegie Hall, and one of the parts that 'get me' are Krupa's drums and the time when Benny hits the high C that you have to listen for because it only is hearable for a split second! I was born in 1944 so my generation was the last of the big band era and the first of the rock and roll generation. How lucky can you get...
Benny Goodman was the greatest clarinet player in the world. When I was a kid playing clarinet in the school band, I would dream of playing like him. My first CD was a Benny Goodman album.
This video takes me back to that time when I had so much possibility in front of me. Different compared to now. I had tons of hope.
Now I don't play clarinet anymore and I'm sure I've lost all my embouchure strength, so I'd be miserable in a concert band these days.
But one never knows. I may yet pick up my clarinet and relearn it. 😉
The top...but Artie Shaw sure had his moments of supreme😍
Hey! I bet Benny Goodman had his moments of doubt where he lost his strength. But there's a reason why we listen to him even today. Because despite everything, he still loved music, and he picked up that clarinet and played it to his heart's content. Don't give up. Even if you are miserable, remember that Benny Goodman would have never thought he'd have an impact on a kid to play like him and he'd be heartbroken to see you give up on your dreams.
It's always my great GOOD pleasure To listen to BENNY GOODMAN. With a name like that, how can you go wrong? Love ur music/u!
Perfect.Just fantastic.The best Benny Goodman, so refreshing, relaxing to listen to during these fantasies.Also, I love the swing era.
The great Benny Goodman Band and the greatest drummer who ever lived..
GENE KRUPA !
I FIRMLY AGREE with you!!!
Beautiful music 🎶
While driving and listing to this you will swing in your seat
Watch out for the Highway cops.
The simplicity of this drumming was the key to this piece...
So right Dave. I played Drums for 62 years but never reached Gene's standard.
@@MichaelSlipper-ik2ru Neither did most of us. Now I see the simplicity of his solos. Most of us tried to be to fancy...
Magnífica música para leventar el ánimo,interpretación COLOSAL
初めて聴いた時には鳥肌が立ちました。
That version of Whispering is masterpiece, I can not take it out of my head.
Великолепный кларнетист!
Ностальгия по прошлому захватывает целиком, приятные воспоминания и впечатления.
His music is amazing. He was a good man at music.
Un clarinettiste avec un génie particulier..
j'adore, j'ai 75 ans et j'ai toujours envie de danser avec cette musique🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anni addietro ascoltando una radio serale che trasmetteva solo musica jazz mi sono resa conto che quella musica mi piaceva. Andando più a fondo alla questione, mi sono accorta che tutti i brani che avevo contrassegnato come quelli che mi piacevano erano suonati dalla stessa orchestra, ovvero dall' orchestra di Benny Goodman. E così ho preso atto che il mio autore preferito è Benny Goodman. Io non ho studiato musica e il mio orecchio va a sensazioni (ovvero questa musica mi piace, questa no), non so perciò spiegare quali siano i meriti attribuibili a questo musicista, ma evidentemente esistono e devono pure essere parecchi. Faccio notare che in casa c' erano, ben allineati sulla libreria,molti trentatré giri (quando si arriva dalla preistoria si possono raccontare anche queste cose) di Glenn Miller, ma il mio orecchio si rifiutava di ascoltarli adducendo a scusa che la sensazione che gli trasmettevano era di troppa perfezione unita a qualche cosa di geometrico che rendevano l' esecuzione "spigolosa", mentre quella di Benny Goodman risultava essere al contrario ugualmente bella ma "morbida" e per cui piacevole. Un grazie di cuore perciò a Benny Goodman e a tutta la sua musica. Sono le ore nove e venticinque a.m.
I just love this so much!
Thank you.. 🌿🖤🕊
Better than any vitamin for jumping out at morning time , wonderful
The best music to do housework to. Brings back memories of my mother
Also, I just love the swing era!
Absolutely! ^_^
