Скачать или смотреть GET HAPPY: The Benny Goodman Big Band Sessions, 1934-36 EPISODE 37

Welcome to this series of three friends talking about music they love.

The Benny Goodman band of 1937-8 has justifiably been the recipient of so much acclaim and analysis over the years that the music which led up to its achievement has been largely passed over.

Not only are the recordings of 1934-36 worthy of another critical listen, in some ways they contain music equal to and, to our ears, sometimes superior to that of the band that climaxed at Carnegie Hall in January 1938.

We start our comments by focusing on the rhythm section and then the band in general, and after that, we range very widely into all sorts of Goodmania.

But opinions aside, please join us for some wonderful music (including many unissued and/or rare items) in-between all of the blather!
