Our Take

Benny Goodman Small Bands Collection 1935-45 is a delightful romp through the swinging sounds of the '30s and '40s. Goodman's clarinet skills are on full display, weaving in and out of tight arrangements with the precision of a Swiss timepiece. The small bands featured on this collection bring a sense of intimacy and camaraderie, making each track feel like a lively jam session in a smoky jazz club.

The standout tracks on this album include "King Porter Stomp" and "Sing, Sing, Sing," which showcase Goodman's virtuosity and ability to bring a freshness to traditional jazz standards. The rhythm section keeps things steady and propulsive, driving the music forward with infectious energy.

While some may dismiss Goodman as a relic of a bygone era, this collection proves that his music still has the power to captivate and inspire. It's impossible not to tap your feet and nod your head along to the infectious grooves on display here.

Overall, Benny Goodman Small Bands Collection 1935-45 is a must-listen for fans of classic jazz and swing music. Goodman's timeless talent shines through on every track, making this album a true gem in the world of jazz. So grab a cocktail, put on your dancing shoes, and let Goodman's music transport you to a simpler, swingin' time. Oi oi, Benny!
