Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Jimmie Noone's Apex Club band, to name two, had prospered in the 1920s as small groups playing traditional New Orleans-style fare, but until Goodman's forays beginning in 1935, the small band had been limited to blues, Dixieland, and the group improvisations of the New Orleans style. Goodman applied the small-group concept to the steady 4/4 rhythm and the repertoire (mostly standards) of swing. Instead of being dance music, this small-group swing showcased the individual and collective talent of the musicians involved--and the talent and telekinetic interplay of these men were considerable to say the least. Like Goodman, pianist Teddy Wilson was a superior technician who never let technique come before spirit or emotion. His miraculous left-hand harmonic invention (listen to "I'm a Ding Dong Daddy") and his sharp sense of humor (listen to him boogie-woogie in "Exactly Like You") never came at the expense of taste. Drummer Gene Krupa and vibraphonist Lionel Hampton provide the energy and drive. Meanwhile, Goodman's total mastery of the clarinet gave him the freedom to soar effervescently, growl menacingly, and swing majestically--and to make it all sound effortless. A revolutionary set, without even considering the social implications of being the first racially integrated band. Perfection never sounded so playful. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tracklist: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CD1 01 - After You've Gone (Take 1) 02 - After You've Gone (Take 2) 03 - Body and Soul (Take 1) 04 - Body and Soul (Take 2) 05 - Who 06 - Someday, Sweetheart 07 - China Boy 08 - More Than You Know 09 - All My Life 10 - Oh, Lady Be Good 11 - Nobody's Sweetheart 12 - Too Good To Be True 13 - Moonglow (Take 1) 14 - Moonglow (Take 2) 15 - Dinah 16 - Exactly Like You 17 - Vibraphone Blues 18 - Sweet Sue - Just You (Take 1) 19 - Sweet Sue - Just You (Take 2) 20 - My Melancholy Baby 21 - Tiger Rage (Take 1) CD2 01 - Stompin' At The Savoy (Take 1) 02 - Stompin' At The Savoy (Take 2) 03 - Whispering 04 - Tiger Rag (Take 2) 05 - Tiger Rag (Take 3) 06 - Ida!
