Radio station WKCR has been playing all Benny Goodman for the last 2 weeks and will end June 1st for a total of 365 hours. In chronological order. From the 1920s to the 1970s.

Happy Birthday indeed Jazz man.

Great musician and from what I've read a Grade 'A' prick, too.

"Seven Come Eleven" is one of my favorite songs, made me respect the clarinet.

Also a famed classical player - he comissioned and premiered Copland's Clarinet Concerto.

^ is related (distantly) to Goodman. Shame I never inherited the man's musical talent tho

I love Sing,Sing, Sing but my personal favorite is his jazz version of Loch Lomond.

My all-time favorite version of "Sing Sing Sing" (and "Loch Lomond" for that matter) is from the 1938 Carnegie Concert. Truly the major constellations came into alignment that night.

I love the 1940's lineup when He added a very good guitar player
Following is a link to Charlie Christian playing His balls off.

Lookout, it's a LINK! (new window)
