I started collecting his records at age 17. I am now turning 83 this year and I was excited to see (and hear) so much of his music on UA-cam. What a fabulous artist.
My dad used to record him and he always told me that Benny was a perfectionist like Frank Sinatra. They both DEMANDED perfection of anyone who played with him.
Goodman was friends with my school band teacher, who was also a perfectionist, and an amazing clarinet player. Goodman makes the clarinet sing, doesn't he.
Excelente bouquet de armonías. Gracias Hermes Spota Rosenkranz por convidarme de tus gustos musicales.Bravo por Dios!!! Que nos hizo un regalo en este genio que es Benny Goodman.
Esta es la última presentación de Benny antes de su muerte, y éste es el mejor guitarrista acompañante de Jazz que escuché en mi vida. El violinista es buenisimo y el resto es de lo mejor ....... el uruguayo.
+Adriano Fugazza ,,,y sì, Moreno, ahora solo pueden gratificarse (metaforicamente) con las estupideces a travès de sus celulares pergados a sus orejas y los chismes lamentables del Facebook! Por suerte me voy a ir de este mundo tras haber vivido la mejor epoca de la musica. Somos pocos pero...algunos quedamos! Felicidades.
Hi. It's a rather late reaction but now I am 78 years old and I still love your musicsuch as legends of Benny Goodman and guests. Thanks you so much, it gives a great pleasure to me, morover when you realise I have visited his concerts so many times during my stays In the USA. Again thank you so much. JW
Clarinettista principe all'Epoca dello Swing in America (e all'estero anche!),uno dei più virtuosi clarinettisti che ha lasciato una impronta indelebile.
One never tires of listening to Goodman and I have been doing that since the late 1940's.I stll have not heard a better jazz clarinet player than Benny.We are indeed fortunate that with todays technolgy, we can watch and listen to these giants of jazz.And thanks to the people who upload these videos!
I think guys like Artie Shaw and Pete Fountain could give him a good run, but what set Goodman apart was how smooth he was. He was so warm and flowed between notes seamlessly.
@@littlethuggie I love both Fountain and Shaw, but in terms of musical creativity and clarinet tone, they are no match for BG. Listen to Goodman's small band records of the 20ies and 30ies which contain his most inventive solos. Later on, he played the stuff he knew the audience would like and would pay for. Like many men who had had dirt-poor childhoods, he valued money. But even late in his career, he very seldom played bad.
Бени Гудман - первый джазовый музыкант, на концерте которого в Москве мне удалось побывать. Было это очень давно, кажется, в году 1955. С тех пор я влюблен в этого музыканта в его мастерстсво, манеру исполнения.
La música de Goodman es para conocedores y que tengan además, una gran sensibilidad y buen gusto. es música popular selecta, magistralmente ejecutada. Dorados años treinta y cuarenta.
You can say what you like about Benny. But as a jazz clarinetist he was by himself. He and Artie set the world on fire in their time. I am among millions of others who grew up with him. Jess too was inspirational. Great, great music. Many thanks.
Excellents moments de jazz et un maître du swing. De la très bonne musique improvisée et spontanée qui hélas n'est plus guère en vogue de nos jours où l'électronique a remplacé la sensibilité des musiciens de jazz,
No termino de admirar la carrera musical de este gran intérprete del swing, jazz y todos los ritmos a los cuales quiso mostrar al mundo, inclusive música docta. Películas, videos, discografía, todo lo que pueda pertenecer a este fabuloso músico norteamericano, siempre será un placer disfrutar su talento.
All these years - same smile while he's playing as at the Carnegie Hall concert in 1938! To love what you do and do it better than anyone. That's Benny
No words to express myself how much pleased am I to hear and watch what I consider the best of music, that is: and Benny Goodman besides of all! Great. Thanks.
goodbye,benny=his last 'goodbye' - he left such great music & all through the years had such high musicianship & played with so many greats-this last performance was so typical of a bg performance-thanks for posting...
Vi voglio confessare che ho 79 anni (sono nato nel 1933 il 9 dicembre ) e ascoltando Benny per la prima volta mi sono così innamorato che ho comprato due clarinetti in sib e sto iniziando ad imparare a suonare il clarinetto. Sono un pazzo? Non credo Inizio a scoprire un mondo meravigliosamente bello . Grazie artisti del mondo.
Музикантів здорових психічно не існує. Всі ми трохи того, відрізняється тільки ступінь помутніння розуму. Труба, спів, з дитинства. There are no mentally healthy musicians. We are all a little different, only the degree of clouding of the mind differs. Trumpet, singing, since childhood.
On the 9th day of our honeymoon in June, 1967 my clarinet playing wife (whilst she was in high school) and I (also an amateur clarinetist) heard that Benny Goodman was playing that night in the Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center. So we got here just before the show started. We slowly nursed our drinks and heard BG play a couple of sets with his combo. He strolled around the room part of the time, stopping in front of our table at one point. A very enjoyable part of our honeymoon, but in truth, not necessarily the most.
In 1981, Benny Goodman appeared at the tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was billed at his last performance, but it wasn't. His final concert was held at the State University of New York in Purchase, N.Y. in January 1986. Goodman was joined at the Tivoli by Svend Asmussen, Charly Antolini, Don Haas, Jimmy Maxwell, Harry Pepe and Peter Witte. This performance was recorded on September 4th 1981.
en écoutant Benny c'est du swing pure et une maîtrise de la clarinette et aussi beaucoup de sentiments dans les vibratos et il joue avec son coeur encore Bravo pour toujours! une merveille!!!!!!!
I am proud to say I got to play with benny goodman. C.b.s. t.v. in r. I. Ill. Duet pluspiano. What a nice man mr. Goodman was.he took a ekght year old kid andplyed in my city what a total thrill plsying together. I was atracted To clarinet becsuse I listened to benny and gene krupa. This is one of my greatest memories.
We played almost 45 min..m I wanted some of the great singin high notes benny was famous for but he thought I was too young at eight... One great thing happened as a result of our meeting at c. B. S. T v..I got to buy bennys clarinet at 18.. selmer wow what a axe.. singin an powerful... I got the right mouthpiece..it jacked me up ...wow.. my buffet clarinet I got at 7yrs.. old was so inspiering.I loved the sound so.. and the large bore mouthpiece was great...
100% respect for mr. goodman, his clarinet sound is phenomenal, even when reaching the 4th octave, which usually sounds bad, and makes his songs seem easy
I'm 74 now. I grew up with music of the 1960s AND gratefully also my father played and enthusiastically taught me about his big band swing music, the great King of Swing Benny Goodman being his favorite and mine. 🎶✨
now that's music! he is so much a master of the clarinet - thank you Benny Goodman for all the hours of enjoyment you have brought me over the years and on...everyone should encourage the youth that Jazz brings happiness and unity between all generations. enjoying, again, and again, and again!
I am listening to these legend s first time.And it's pleasant Tomy ears, as l too am basically a veteran Musician too, but my field of excecution is via Commerce and Law too!
У меня был один знакомый музыкант, Сэм Рифман, игравший на кларнете и саксофоне-тенор!- По-моему,Benny Goodman, был именно тем музыкантом, на творчестве которого он и учился играть,и,довольно хорошо играть,потому что я с ним играл в одном коллективе и хорошо знал, что есть что, в музыкальном мирке нашего города Кемерово!- - А то, что исполнял Benny Goodman, и, как исполнял, не имеет даже шкалы сравнения,потому, что он, несравним ни с кем, в своём мастерстве исполнителя и дирижёра, одного из самых лучших джаз-оркестров мира!!
Well, reading other comments, I’m the newby here @ only 75, but I’ve always liked music that my folks enjoyed and……quite likely may be responsible for my conception. Who knows? 😀 Timeless……..
How great must it have been to hear a legend like Benny Goodman and band in a small venue like this!! If you've never listened to the Goodman Sextet of 1939-41, with Charlie Christian and several other heavyweights, you should definitely check it out...swing with a small ensemble.
I started collecting his records at age 17. I am now turning 83 this year and I was excited to see (and hear) so much of his music on UA-cam. What a fabulous artist.
Yes ...He was my 1st listening awareness of how much I liked the clarenet
@@hermanpoelmann7745 Are you still listening to his records ? Just saw the movie Benny Goodman story. Love Benny so talented ❤️ 🙌God's peace
My dad used to record him and he always told me that Benny was a perfectionist like Frank Sinatra. They both DEMANDED perfection of anyone who played with him.

😊😊 Unbeleaveble swingin music, even today in 2024
BENNY GOODMAN EL MEJOR CLARINETISTA DEL MUNDO. LÁSTIMA QUE YA NO VIVA
You gotta love this guy -- have loved him and his music since the 1950's. Now I'm 80 and still love his music

Excelente bouquet de armonías. Gracias Hermes Spota Rosenkranz por convidarme de tus gustos musicales.Bravo por Dios!!! Que nos hizo un regalo en este genio que es Benny Goodman.
That guy could play!!!! That is some fine jazz! Wow.Great on a cold afternoon.
Esta es la última presentación de Benny antes de su muerte, y éste es el mejor

y el resto es de lo mejor ....... el uruguayo.
¡Cuanta dulzura en esta "Pobre mariposa"; ¿Quien como Benny? Definitivamente....NADIE.

Swing music, unfettered from the technological and commercial constraints. Great genius in American and world music.

Счастливчик !
I've said this many times , and I'll say it again.Benny is the complete clarinetist.
La música de Goodman es para conocedores y que tengan además, una gran sensibilidad y buen gusto. es música popular selecta, magistralmente ejecutada. Dorados años treinta y cuarenta.
Siempre es un placer sentir el clarinete del gran e inolvidable BENNY GOODMAN

Up till now there's never been anyone to equal him, a true master of this instrument. Pitch, dexterity, and expression.
No termino de admirar la carrera musical de este gran intérprete del swing, jazz y todos los ritmos a los cuales quiso mostrar al mundo, inclusive música docta.

You can tell he really enjoys playing. He's amazing
😊😊I'm very pls to know I'm not the only one that loves😍 👆 the song but when last did you play it
He looks like he’s there for the money 💴
THANKSFULLY !!!!!💖💋💖💋💖🤹♀️
Top of world music 👏
It just doesn't get any better. Brings me back to the late 30's and 40's. Nostalgia and dreaming. The swing era was a thing of beauty.
Quelle classe, le plus Grand
I saw Benny at the Royal Albert Hall in London back in 1973 along with John Bunch, Slam Stewart, Bucky Pizzarelli and Al Klink. Great concert.
Lo mejor del jazz ! 💓
All these years - same smile while he's playing as at the Carnegie Hall concert in 1938! To love what you do and do it better than anyone. That's Benny
No words to express myself how much pleased am I to hear and watch what I consider the best of music, that is: and Benny Goodman besides of all! Great. Thanks.

No, you're not crazy -- you're creative. And you're also a Sagittarius ♐, as am I, and we often do exciting things like that. 🎶
