ive listened to a lot of benny goodman and i like him especialy with charlie christian. this cd i find a bit flat and lifeless though. his playing has lost its easy fluidity to my ears compaired to his earlier stuff August 22, 2008

This is a thoroughly enjoyable CD of Benny's post-WWII work with trios. Benny, of course, was a virtuoso clarinet player and the accompanying musicians are all fantastic.
The tunes on this CD are all old-fashioned (pre-war) jazz and don't reflect the trends in modern jazz that were taking place at the time by such musicians as Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, John Coltrane etc. But that shouldn't deter you from giving this great CD a listen.
There are minimal liner notes and the remastered sound is excellent. June 15, 2006

Goodman could sound mechanical and harsh at times, but his playing has an intensity and drivej like no other. Also there is a sense of his reaching places that no one else could reach with the clarinet.
For those who love the clarinet sound this is a must - have - record. June 11, 2006

The end of WWII also saw the demise of Big Band Swing, with the likes of Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey and a host of other great band leaders, trimming down to smaller groups. Benny in fact, had recorded with trios, quartets and sextets since the mid 30's, becoming extremely popular, releasing many hits on a regular basis.

Benny continued with this practice from the late 40's, linking with Count Basie, Teddy Wilson, Lionel Hampton and many more. Tracks contained in this CD, I consider to be collector's items. Many of the songs listed, were originally released in the mid 30's and the advancement in technology during that period, is clearly evident.
