Description:
Benny Goodman: The Centennial Collection collects 21 tunes the clarinetist recorded between 1935 and 1939. The operative word in this collection is swing, which the bandleader spearheaded into worldwide popularity during these years. But also featured is Goodman's small band forays into chamber jazz. The music on this package highlights many of Goodman's integral sidemen, including Bunny Berigan, Lionel Hampton, Harry James, Gene Krupa and Teddy Wilson, who all became stars thanks to their contributions in this band. The DVD includes footage from feature films made in the late '30s and early '40s in which Goodman's bands appeared, including Auld Lang Syne, The Powers Girl and Stage Door Canteen. Bonus footage comes from a 1960 Ed Sullivan Show performance and the 1966 Belgian Jazz Festival. |
