Side B: • Benny Goodman Modern J...
I was a stewardess working in First Class enroute from Honolulu to Sydney, Australia with a layover in Fiji. Benny Goodman was my only passenger in First Class❣ He taught me how to play Gin Rummy & when we had a layover in Fiiji he said to me "never mind what the crew are doing, you're having dinner with me"❣ All I can say is ALL THIS & HEAVEN TOO ❣ 🎶😁
WOW!!!!!! Just have to share this with the WORLD! My Uncle Joe was a singer with the Benny Goodman Band late 40's, and I have a picture of him with the gang BACKSTAGE at the Palladium in Hollywood, @1949!!!! PRICELESS!!!
Cool! Thats a really great story. :) Side B available here: ua-cam.com/video/TlbFO96pzl0/v-deo.html
Totally addicted! Great stuff.
I get to discover how music was during my parents ' days. I admit that I am a little bit curious about how music sounded back in their time. 😊
Benny Goodman is Awesome !
:-)
This is the only copy of this particular recording of Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams I've found on the Internet outside of Pandora. Thank you for posting!!
You are welcome. Do you need the track itself instead the whole LP? I could convert the song for itself. :)
M. H. Lange same
Incendiarii do you mind doing that?
@@Incendiariiplease do the whole album thank you!
Benny Goodman excelente repertorio!!!
Good music, but how is this "modern jazz"? The arrangements are swing, the solos are swing style. The overall feel is 1937, not 1947! (The accordion doesn't help much, either!)
That's one thing I dislike about Goodman: He rejected bebop, and never assimilated any modernism into his solo style or band arrangements. He came CLOSE with an "experimental" session in '49, (see Capitol Jazz Classics Vol 15, "Bebop Spoken Here", Capitol LP 11061) and even had the great Fats Navarro in his band (whom he treated despicably, as a side note) but altho the arrangements were "boppish", Goodman's swing solos sound awkward and dated in contrast, and this gives the session an overall off-balance feeling.
So even in '47, following all the innovations by Parker, Gillespie, Monk, et al, what we have here is pure swing.
"Modern Jazz" it most decidedly is NOT!
"never assimilated any modernism into his... band arrangements." No, he adopted bebop during 1948-1949 (telling _Downbeat_, “Changed my opinion [about bebop]? Well, yes, I suppose I have really"), hiring Stan Hasselgard and others. You won't hear the best stuff on Capitol, you'll hear it on the CDs _At Click 1948_ on Dragon and _Benny's Bop_ on Metronome. Benny fired Fats for being late to three rehearsals in a row, which is how Benny ran a band no matter how good a soloist you were.
Perhaps as one of the main, original swing clarinetists, WHY should Goodman have "assimilated" to anything else? I just don't understand why innovators of a certain style should have changed what they did. If you want to listen to bebop, as you said, there was Bird, Dizzy, Monk, etc.
The more legitimate beef about the album title would be with the label, not the musicians.
You're right: Let's call it "good swing" instead of "not really modern jazz". Mistitled to be sure. But just to get my final dig in at Goodman, I always considered Artie Shaw a much more swinging and creative exponent of the genre on clarinet. (Interestingly, when Shaw tried to move forward and adapt more modern ideas, his fans would have none of that, demanding to hear "Begin The Beguine", "Frenesi", et al, ad nauseum... until Shaw got so sick of it that he gave up the music business entirely).
I love Shaw, and I don't understand under what definition of "swinging" he could be considered "much more swinging" than Goodman.

lol....I agree. I DO love Goodman, but also agree with you about Artie Shaw. As someone who leads a big band and (admittedly) struggles to do justice to his playing, solos, etc. the man was truly the complete package. His sound, range and overall fluidity on the horn was so vastly ahead of the times, it's ridiculous. I assume you've heard Shaw's classical recordings as well?
Amiga was an East-Germany label. I think these sides were issued in the US on Capitol. Nice album cover picture of the Goodman Quartet; but, I believe, of the four pictured, only Goodman plays on these records.
True, my grandpa was GDR citizen against one's will, therfore makes sense. Difficult to get stuff like that in GDR times but he always made it...somehow. :)
My kind of music
Is there anyway to get a download link for the side B (or both sides if possible)? The video for side B is "unavailable" and I love this album :)

Side B
Joshua Nichols please tell the composer of the very first song,please!!,love Benny because im a clarinetist in band hope to play like him someday!!
i love this type of american music, being born in the uk, i wish to travel to america someday...does any of this kind of america exist guys.
I think it does in places. A few years ago I visited Florida and ended up in a bar converted from an old gas station. There was an Elvis impersonator singing and halfway through his act, there was a huge racket outside as one of those mile-long freight trains blasted past outside. Elvis stopped his song and sang 'Freight Train' instead. I've also been to a few old country music places and jazz clubs in the US that still have a 50s feel.
Universal Studios and Disney Hollywood Studios has a 1940-1960 theme with this type of music that you may enjoy; it's almost like being immersed in the time period. Also, consider playing the Fallout games, which is where my current taste of music originated.
Adi 345 yes sir And we would love for you to join us. swing will never die.
