Benny Goodman in Japan 1980 kzfaq.info/sun/PLrPaVntmR59ubYcmmeFCbz7NYJStjxm6Q

Listening to this makes me feel happy.

BG is a one of a kind genius,and will be still played in the 2100 and 2200"s

FYI for all you aspiring clarinetists out there, he's on an altissimo A with one hand around 3:15 and then he slides it up from A to B to C for the finish. Amazing chops and at the age of 71, too.

Mr Goodman is over 70 years old here and he is playing with such speed, precision and energy that a man half his age would have a hard time keeping up. But then, Good man is a legend for a reason.

Fanatastic playing by Benny and the quartet. Superb solo, certainly one of his best, great ideas! You can see Benny enjoying it very much and the crowd is roaring. Thanks for sharing it!

Benny is one of the ALL time great musicians!!

fabulous, just amazing

I love how this type of music always gives every member a solo.

I´ve heard most of BG:s solo´s but this was one of the best I´ve heard. Fantastic

Incredible playing from a 70-yr old man!

one of the greatest clips on KZfaq. ever.

Nobody play like that. Nobody! I learn everything with you. You was and you still are the best clarinet player i ever eard... I like the others like Artie,Buddy,Doods etc... In breath technique,in fingers technique you are the best! Long live to his music.... Thank you Benny.

when benny played the birds stopped listened and learned

Benny Goodman at his best !

5 people are out of their minds, this is absolutely amazing!

Man, could he swing! And right to the end.

Those who are interested, the Tempo is 300. That is fast. Always impressed by Benny Goodman's high speed and smooth lines.

Listening to this is just wonderful, but sad, too. My Dad loved BG. The Greatest Generation is almost gone. We'll not see their like again.

played 'tag' on that number just as he did with his 'original' groups in the '30's...get a hold of his 1955 bg at basin street sides=UNREAL!!!

In town with my Dad one day, He said;"Lets go to the show". I had never been before. Was thrilled . The BG Story was playing. Trust me, Dad was "Taking Himself. " I was along for the ride. hahahaha It was one of my BEST MEMORIES. Will turn 70 in Sept. Miss the Ol' Man still. Benny was His Fav. Him & Louie . hahahahahaha

Wake up all you pop star wonders and listen to a true artist of long ago. what a talent, what a musician.

I had the privilege of seeing him perform in '72 when I was 9.

Benny makes the world happier with his rendition of this jazz tune!

Good sound, good stereo, good players, good music! What more can one ask for?

This tune is really a Benny´s favourite and in this performance he is stratospherical!!! Everything in his artistry is in this one. Thanks for posting!!!!

This truly will make a person feel like dancing well into the night, in fact never stop dancing as long as Benny can play along with his fantastic group; to be able to play the clarinet the way he does is a gift that few of us possess. Roger Plafkin-Plafkin Farms, Ada, Michigan

Simply ---- THE BEST !

GREATEST INNOVATION AND PHRASING ON CLARINET FOREVER,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Damn. How that man could move his fingers, his mind, his music!

Im a young Clarinet player and I love jazz. I wish I was around to hear Benny Goodman. Clarinet is not as popular in jazz these days, but Im trying to get a tone sort of like Benny's, thanks for the upload.

The King is dead long live the King. Sad to see him leave but glad to still be able to hear him swing. It do not get any better than this boys and girls. Go look for yourself. Have I ever lied to you before.

Dear one the world is waiting for the sunrise Ev'ry rose is covered with dew And while the world is waiting for the sunrise In my heart is calling you Dear one the world is waiting for the sunrise Every little rose bud is covered with dew And my heart is calling for you The thrush on high his sleepy mate is calling And my heart is calling you

世界はまさに日の出を待っている どうか平和で穏やかな日々を

God of jazz clarinet!

このコンサートをNHKで見たのが17歳の時。特に、世界は日の出を待っている、はソロを回すという基本さえ知らなかった私には大きな衝撃でした。今はブランドも消えた東芝のAurex、素晴らしい遺産をのこしてくれたと思います。

Çould anyone sit still and listen to this fantastic group? My husband and I are 81 and 82 but this makes us feel half our age. Thanks so much for sharing.

God bless you Benny!

No hay palabras !. Solo agradecimiento y profunda admiración.

Que maravilla!!absoluta virtuosidad un verdadero genio,por siempre querido y recordado Mr Benny Goodman!!

may this be found after another 10 years

Ted Wilson brilliant in piano!

Only the Best in this World

Masters at their craft.

Deryck Trahair I was lucky and privileged to study with BG 1983-86 )))

Goodman at his best..EXELENT🙌

Teddy's doing a pretty good job too!

Very nice!

肉体は老化したけど心はスイングして居りますね！同行していたライオネルハンプトンの汗だくスターダストも感動ものです。カセットテープで何回も聴きました。

Very good, The BEST of the BEST!

Escandalosamente genial !!

この曲が聞けることが出来ない、もう半分の世界にも届けたいですね。世界は、日の出を待っている。

genial maestro

SwingCla - so happy I found your Goodman archives - awesomesauce.

I was just 17 year old boy, liked Pop and Rock. But this performance watched at TV told me "another gread music".

withoght a doubt to the above comment and to this day there has been nobody of that standard and fluency on the clarinet since.An absolute master of an instrument.I have played clarinet since the age of 10 years going pro from the age of18on tenor ,I am now 63'.So all you budding young clarinet players keep practiising and practising , and above all use those ears to listen to Benny and you will learn a great deal. Graham.

Tempo issues aside, a rousing arrangement of my grandfather's song. Man, can Benny make that thing sing!!

これ非売品でもらったオーレックスジャズフェスティバルのLPレコードに入ってて何度も何度も擦り切れるほど聴きました。懐かしすぎて涙が出そうです。ありがとうございます。

it wouldn't be so exciting without that excellent drummer John Markham.

Sweet!

BG at his best at 71- what sound!!!

演奏の前に聞こえる、なま歌がいいですね。そのあとの、演奏は、いーに決まってる。幸せです。

listening to Benny Goodman play the world is waiting for the sunrise brings me back to fond memories as this was the 1st tune I played on my dad's t.v. show, The Ozzie Bowen Show, in Jackson, Miss back on the late 1950s. I that night played this tune on my tenor banjo. Benny Goodman was a musical genius as was my dad, Ozzie Bowen.

On a bad day Benny could still run rings around any other clarinetist!

this is so so so good~

Thank you for your comment, msroadrunner. I agree, they have been making us feel happy for long years.

Gracias,a quien corresponda por haberle gustado mi comentario,pienso que hay seres humanos que marcan un estilo y una presencia tan tan grande que luego queda un vacío muy grande y difícil de llenar!! Ese es por ejemplo el caso de Benny Goodman y así pasa con otras grandes perdonalidades en la historia,que pena pero así es la vida,somos únicos e irrepetibles, gracias amigos!!

Please know that many musicians are able to play what they are thinking. That is one of the artcrafts of being a good player (in many styles--not just jazz), or a good conductor or composer for that matter. As for "Benny's Burn," I worked with 2 players who sat with Benny (all gone now) and neither one of them had one good thing to say about him other than he could really play ++well. And, these guys had nothing but good to say about other leaders they were with: J. Dorsey, Thornhill, Kenton.

@msroadrunner I'm 22 and i love swing, you cant sit still to this music it takes you over.

Hן I am half your age, and it still does the magic!

And he always will be the "King of Swing"

You said it all, sister!

Wow,Benny is really ON here!!!

Acho genial adoro!!!

Benny goodman

Super musica il numero 1

Benny tops but what backing was there ever a better swing pianist than Teddy Wilson

this is addictive just superb

Ah Benny..!! Wonderful swinger wonderful musician, second to no one!

Bassist gets excited at 0:20, hence the glance.

軽くくわえて　やわらかい音を出しているのは、さすがですね　スイング感満載

@ShadowsOfLite I can think of no one better for a clarinet player to emulate than BG. His work with his small groups is still astounding. Just don't let falling short of Goodman paralyze you like it did me for almost a year and a half - I got so frustrated that I couldn't come close to Goodman (and Artie Shaw, for that matter) that I just gave up clarinet in my sophomore year of college). I ended up switching to the bass clarinet.

The beautiful music 😎💙👍

GRANDE BENNY

Ce vieux gars-là: plus je l'entends, plus je le trouve extraordinaire : il me manque beaucoup !!! Des étoiles filantes comme celle-là, on aurait dû pouvoir les empêcher de s'échapper de la terre . E n tout cas, j'espère qu'il a été, durant sa vie, aussi heureux que sa musique nous a permis de l'être. Ce n'aurait été que justice. Mais existe-t-il une justice ......That's the question ??!! ah ! ah ! ah !

でも、この曲を聞くたびに、幸せです。

Oh, probably not too much doubt there--especially considering his later playing, as in this example. Right on.

Just wow

música que vem do coração!

great

THE POINT IS......some say so much more than others. Like Art Tatum,C Parker etc...Benny was just as special ...his statements were magical !

The most👑King Of

Meraviglioso

Alucinante!!!!!!!!!!

B.G. at his best !

Interesting statement, thanks. Jazz baroness Nica de Koenigswarter published a book called 'Three Wishes', in which she asked many of her great jazz friends what they would wish for. A surprising number wanted 'to be able to play what I hear inside' (J.J. Johnson, Sonny Rollins etc.) or 'to master my instrument' (Jimmy Garrison, Charlie Rouse, Spanky DeBrest et al). Published 2008 by Harry N. Abrams, NYC.

最高の演奏です。

Say what they want about "Benny's Burn" ( looking at sidemen with with a glaring stare) Benny Good gave perfection and demanded it from others....It must be nice to play what your thinking...to have that much control.

멋있다 Benny Goodman.

Genial
