BENNY GOODMAN

B.G. IN HI-FI

Description:
On this all around excellent CD, Benny Goodman performs a dozen selections mostly Fletcher Henderson arrangements with a big band filled with sympathetic players in 1954 and eight other numbers with a pair of smaller units that also feature pianist Mel Powell and either Charlie Shavers or Ruby Braff on trumpets. Although the big band era had been gone for almost a decade, Benny Goodman then 46 plays these swing classics with enthusiasm and creativity and shows that there was never any reason for anyone to write him off as "behind the times."
