    Benjamin David Goodman was an American jazz clarinetist and bandleader known as the "King of Swing". In the mid-1930s, Goodman led one of the most popular musical groups in the United States. His concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City on January 16, 1938 is described by critic Bruce Eder as "the single most important jazz or popular music concert in history: jazz's 'coming out' party to the world of 'respectable' music. Goodman's bands started the careers of many jazz musicians. During an era of racial segregation, he led one of the first integrated jazz groups. He performed nearly to the end of his life while exploring an interest in classical music.

    Duke Ellington once asked Count Basie if he thought that a composition he had just written was too difficult to be performed. Count Basie's response? "Take it to Benny Goodman. If he can't sight-read it then it's too difficult." That's how much other musicians and band leaders respected Benny Goodman.

      There's a story to this. On January 16, 1938, Benny was leading and playing in his quiet manner but Gene Krupa, the drummer, got tired of playing the usual dance tempo and, during one of the breaks he went wild and the band followed him, breaking out into real swing at a fast step. The audience, instead of slow dancing, went wild! Benny saw this result and accepted this change!

So I went back to listening to swing, to the Big Bands of the 1030's and 1940's, and the great crooners of those years. I felt much better for doing so.

I love swing I grew up on stories of my grandma growing up in the south and sneaking out to go swing dance when she was a teen. She even seen Elvis live once in the very early years and even tho she was married and no longer living at home when her dad found out the whole family was up in arms. She taught me quite a few moves and could still cut a rug even after going blind later in life all the way till the day she died. Glenn miller in the mood was her favorite song of all time.

      Complicated is good. Myself, whenever I listen to Beethoven or Brahms, I am compelled to follow it up with Metallica or Black Sabbath, though Led Zeppelin works too. I don't understand how anyone can listen to one kind of music exclusively. As for old Benny, Sing Sing Sing has about the heaviest drums ever, and only John Bonham could have ever come close to what Gene Krupa did. Besides, as Duke Ellington pointed out, there are only two kinds of music: 'Good music, and the other kind.'

    Benny Goodman was the greatest clarinet player in the world. When I was a kid playing clarinet in the school band, I would dream of playing like him. My first CD was a Benny Goodman album.
    This video takes me back to that time when I had so much possibility in front of me. Different compared to now. I had tons of hope.
    Now I don't play clarinet anymore and I'm sure I've lost all my embouchure strength, so I'd be miserable in a concert band these days.

      Hey! I bet Benny Goodman had his moments of doubt where he lost his strength. But there's a reason why we listen to him even today. Because despite everything, he still loved music, and he picked up that clarinet and played it to his heart's content. Don't give up. Even if you are miserable, remember that Benny Goodman would have never thought he'd have an impact on a kid to play like him and he'd be heartbroken to see you give up on your dreams.

      In the early 70's in Montreal as a teenager I would buy all the records of Pink Floyd, The Stones, Alice Cooper and The Who and go see them with my friends at the Forum. But, at home, in my bedroom I would listen to all these big band tunes on an ancient gramophone I brought down from the attic. I had found boxes full of Bluebird 78's in my grandparents basement. First time I heard 'Swing, swing, swing" I think I almost lost bladder control. Of course my parents and my friends were troubled by this... weirdness! And my other, most secret musical taste was early Baroque music. I would take my cassette player deep into the park on a nice day and lie there listening to Lully, Vivaldi and the gang. Then came opera.

    Я прочитал коменты, все на английском, русскоязычные тоже любят джаз, я тоже люблю свинговую, тем более Бени Гудмана, у нас тогда трудно было найти пластинки, ну мы доставали, я тогда жил в Баку, и к нам приезжали джавые группы и я старался не пропусксть эти концерты. Тогда у нас очень был популярен фильм "Серенада солнечной долины. Да я и сейчач слушаю эту музыку особенно Лунную серенаду. Всем мира и добра. Нсибарь Новосибирск.

    ALL of Benny's band did an immense job, but, in my humble opinion, it was GENE KRUPA'S fantastic drumming that was the key to Sing, Sing, Sing's gigantic popularity then and now in 2023!

    My ex-Father in law, Willie George out of Flint, Michigan had a Big Band in the 70's throughout his passing days of the 90's. He played many of Benny Goodman, and others along with music he composed. You are sadly missed Mr. George.

    Wonderful music from the King of Swing . This was back in the days when records were made successful by musicians, rather than by the skill of recording engineers' In those days, if you couldn't play you didn't eat.

    I have lots of versions of Sing, Sing, Sing, and every version seems to be different but the best was at the Carnegie Hall, and one of the parts that 'get me' are Krupa's drums and the time when Benny hits the high C that you have to listen for because it only is hearable for a split second! I was born in 1944 so my generation was the last of the big band era and the first of the rock and roll generation. How lucky can you get...

They are the Kyoto Tachibana High School Marching Band. The band is comprised mostly of young girls with a passion for music of all types (and especially Big Band)!! Just search 'Tachibana High School Band - Sing Sing Sing'. You won't be disappointed!😄♬🎶👍

    Marvelous music. Goodman was my idle as I played clarinet in the high school band. The band as a whole loved to play these tunes. Where else could we get out and swing. Closest I ever came to hearing him was a Woodie Herman concert at Chautauqua in western New York. Also the Glenn Miller Band at a Policeman's Ball. Gene Krupa was definitely a top grade drummer.

    My father loved Goodman! He was a kid when Goodman was young and collected Swing records. He had Goodman, Glenn Miller, the Mills Brothers. They had no record covers. But when he had to move into an apartment for hospice all his prized records were stolen. I still have dad’s 87 year old clarinet he got to try to play like him when he was nine so that was 1936, but just squeaked. The case is so old the handle fell off. At Music Carnival in 1975 here I am that shut down sometime after, the family saw Benny Goodman and it was a thrill for me and dad was like a kid in a candy store. He loved seeing his idol. When I hear Big Band music I think of my parents and uncle who were kids then and dad playing his big stacks of original Big Band records. And my parents could Jitterbug real good. That was their era. Mom could also Polka too.
