	Benny Goodman : Benny Goodman Orchestra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Benny Goodman, born Benjamin David Goodman, (May 30, 1909 - June 13, 1986) was a famous Jazz musician who was, and still is, known as "King of Swing," "Patriarch of the Clarinet," and "Swing's Senior Statesman".
		Goodman was born in Chicago, Illinois the son of poor Jewish immigrants that lived on Chicago's Maxwell Street neighborhood.
		It should be noted, however, that Goodman himself was no mere imitator; he was an astonishly virtuosic and creative clarinetist, and one of the most of innovative jazz musicians of the pre-Bebop era.

		Benny Goodman received rudimentary musical training in 1919 at the Kehelah Jacob Synagogue and the next year joined the boys club band at Jane Addams's Hull House, where he received lessons from the director James Sylvester.
		Goodman's solo on After You've Gone from that session is an example of his mature style — his flawless playing utilizes almost the complete range of the instrument, and his disciplined explorations of the harmony and fondness for the blue thirds reveals the technical mastery and controlled expression that formed the essence of his art.
		The original Benny Goodman Trio was reunited for a benefit recording for Fletcher Henderson (1951) and a television appearance on NBC (1953), and also appeared in a film based on Goodman's life, The Benny Goodman Story (1956).

	Scott Wheeler Reviews BENNY GOODMAN ALUMNI ORCHESTRA
		HYANNIS—More than 50 years have passed since the late Benny Goodman and his band burst upon the American music scene with a new breed of crisply played, joyously swinging dance music that galvanized a generation of listeners and launched a decade of soaring musical achievement known as the Big Band Era.
		The concert featured the All-Star, All-Alumni Benny Goodman Orchestra, a hard-driving band composed of 15 top-flight jazz musicians, all of them veterans of Goodman’s numerous musical ensembles of the past.
		She followed it with the Eddie Sauter ballad "More Than You Know," and closed with a mightily swinging version of "The Lady Is A Tramp" that proved to be one of the highlights of the show.

		Goodman fans worldwide know who Art Lund, (or Art London) was.
		In 1999 Sony-Columbia released the excellent 2- CD set of the Benny Goodman-Peggy Lee recordings, and this Art Lund CD actually 'fills the gap' because alot of these tunes are the 'flip-sides' of those original 78rpm records.
		Benny's contract with Columbia Records expired later that year and Art left the band to pursue a solo career.

		While every volume in the series has one, Goodman and his bands were used by Hollywood more than most bands from the late 1930s and early '40s, and the stuff on here is prime, as well as the footage of later performances in the mid- '60s.
		Sure, the CD has good sound and the hits are all here, but the DVD has performances dating from the classic Victor era quartet as well as the orchestra.
		There is also an interview wit Goodman in audio-only to wind up the set, but in all it totals a fine collection -- one that fans need -- and serves as an amazing historical introduction to the great bandleader.
