Benny Goodman - ONE O'CLOCK JUMP

[@iancarranza4153]

Benny Goodmans solo is absolutely stunning. The man was a sick perfectionist, but man did it pay off.

I COULD LISTEN TO THIS MUSIC ALL DAY AND NEVER GET SICK OF IT. (I LOVE IT)

[@skelejp9982]

So much creativity, this music was a playground full of joy...

[@Chuck88keys]

Back in 1958 i was stationed at Otis AFB on Cape Cod.Somehow someone got my name and asked if i would do a Sunday afternoon "gig" at the Officer's Club starting around noon for th diners, and play with a 16-piece USAF band. i showed up that day sort of got set and was handed a bunch of music.Wouldn't you know, the first song ON TOP was One O'clock Jump, full of all black notes YIKES!! Here i was, a 20 year old "kid" who never took a piano lesson. I did take accordion on and off when i was about 14, taught myself to play piano while up in Iceland for 18 months and played 6 nights a week up there, making a LOT of $$ playing on base at the clubs. Anywho, back to the Cape. I didn't say a word but i knew i could never sight-read that fast, so i just followed the leader. A short intro from the band and there i was...facing what i believe to recall was either a 16-bar or 32-bar "piano solo" My old saying: "Never stop", so i started playing and "faked it" through my solo part and then did the rest of the gig for a couple hours. All in all, a great albeit, nervous experience, especially at the beginning.

[@Chuck88keys]

Oops sorry that was 1960 I didn't get to the Cape until Aug 1960

I loved reading of your experience. I bet you are a great musician.

[@kinkajou777]

Cool Beans!! I’m a 46 year old Big Band Fan! I always loved One O’Clock Jump!

[@Skipperj]

That was a great story and would love to hear more! My dad's piano player was drunk one night and changed the words of the coda, and he said "Spread your legs you're breaking my glasses baba do be da do da", and keep saying until everyone was rolling on the floor laughing! Al delano, a fine pianist and tuner-tech.I learned so much playing with him.He was out of Westchester county,and play with The Dukes of Dixieland for many years.I did my 1st gig with him and Dad back in 1976, on bass, up in plattsburgh N.Y.

[@robertogarcia2223]

The same story told by 4 people with different names??

[@dbeaus]

My dad loved 5 things. His family, the Cubs, cold beer, Weeping Willow trees, and Benny Goodman. Never did understand the trees but he literally could not go past one without stopping and looking. Sometimes you don't know how much you miss someone until you think about it. Thanks Dad, thanks Benny.

[@dbeaus]

A little add on. At 74 I'm starting to understand the trees.

[@chuckwosilis1247]

Back in the 1950's i was with the USAF stationed at Otis AFB on Cape Cod. I was only 19 years old, NEVER had a lesson on piano, only a couple years on and off with accordion. First went to Iceland where i got hooked up with members of the USAF base band. They were DESPERATE for a piano player so i got the job with them, playing the clubs on base, 6 times a week, for about 5 months or so until they finally got a "replacement", a very talented exceptional learned pianist, so i was back to normal, no extra moola. I was whipped to say the least. Anywho, back to Cape Cod I get a call from the bandleader of the base band. Where he got it from i'll never know. There was going to be a GIG at the Officer's Club on a Sunday afternoon and i was asked if i could do the job, so i agreed. ( WOW ). LOL So, i show up meet the leader, gets squared away and he hands me the "charts". FIRST damn song was............you guessed it....."One O'clock Jump. It looked like there was a swarm of bees all over the pages, there were so damn many notes. So, i explained quickly "i am going to have to FAKE IT" in order to get through it. Key of B-flat and if i recall, it started with a 16-bar "intro" ( piano intro ) Well, i knew the key so we started and luckily the leader was "counting" the measures, and tHEN the band jumped right in.luckily. Making a long story short, that was one heck of an experience. The rest of the afternoon wasn't so bad. sheesh LOL

One of BG's best renditions of the piece. Not only does he group the TWO finales together, the descending arpegio part is modified into a double (even triple with Benny's clarinet) cannon descending arpegio. Great stuff!

Excellent graphic showing the instrument and the player's name. I love Benny. Saw him three times in the '70s in the greater L.A. area. Even waited outside the Long Beach Auditorium after that show to say hello and shake his hand. No one like him. And a gentleman, too; not like Artie Shaw in his dotage.

[@halvickery]

The Two O'Clock Jump descending trumpets began sometime between the Carnegie Hall Concert and the time Harry James left the band. James took that with him when he formed his band.

[@Clara_Datorino]

La musica di questo brano mi è particolarmente piaciuta forse a causa di un ritmo più dinamico ma anche, credo, per la maggior ricchezza dei suoni di più strumenti musicali che giocavano a rincorrersi. Un BRAVO a tutta l' orchestra. 4:19

Of course, one has to realize that Benny GOODMAN probably felt he could extend the BOOGIE finale because a great deal of people were dancing in the aisles!!!

[@floraline7153]

I agree and I adore James' music as much as Goodman's. Interesting factoid: my grandfather was friends with Harry James. This inspired my dad to play clarinet as a child, his first and favorite learned tune being Stardust. He idolized both James and Goodman, but of course Goodman was highlighted due to dad's choice of the clarinet.

[@Trombonology]

Interesting to compare this version with that from the famous '38 concert. Despite being essentially the same arrangement, discounting the inclusion here of the "2 O'Clock Jump" riff, the two performances are very dissimiliar. The rhythm sections alone sound entirely different. I think both the rhythm and solos on '38 show a lot more character, but still, the Goodman band is never less than great. Toots Mondello is the stand-out here, I think.

[@oleflogger6828]

I almost totally agree with this. Almost. If this is the same arrangement as that played in Carnegie Hall, then I am even more amazed at the musicianship of performers back then. The "sound" of the two recordings is so very different. But, the playing and "jump" within is irresistible. MAN! I LOVE this music!!

[@oleflogger6828]

Agreed! I also prefer the 1938 Carnegie Hall version. But, I think this is more spontaneous. I suspect that Benny had to keep some things "trim" for Carnegie. That was a BIG step forward for Jazz. It must have been funny, seeing all those "swells" in tuxes and gowns at a Jazz concert.

[@ethancampbell9096]

I'm playing a tenor 2 solo tommorow and I cant find a recording with my version in it! Every recording is different, 2hich would be great if I wasnt looking for a certain part

Man if you can listen to this and stay still you better check your pulse because you may be dead!

[@CroixdeLorraine]

Weell, I can say that I still prefer the Miller version live, not to take anything away from Benny and his boys, but I love the drum work on the Miller version much better, especially the cymbals, really, really swing!! Guess that's the part of a Swing piece that I really listen for!! But, that's just me!!☺️

[@musicola7371]

Maybe you should listen to the Count Basie original version if you want to hear the best. Also has the best rhythm section. I like almost all the big swing bands and find listening to be more enjoyable than making judgements.

[@CroixdeLorraine]

[@swingandsweat5099]

I have to disagree with some of the other comments lauding this recording. Listening to the other numbers from the Goodman performance at the 1939 Carnegie Hall Concert, I can't help but think that Goodman just wasn't taking it all that seriously. Fletcher Henderson on piano? Lionel Hampton on drums (instead of Nick Fatool)? A clowned up version of "Tain't What You Do?" The only numbers that worked were by the Sextet.

ｔｓのクレジットだけがありませんが、これはやはり、スタン・ゲッツではないでしょうか?同年のエアチェックでは、ソロも取っていますが、後年の彼のスタイルとは全く違う感じになってます。

[@konidolfine]

ゲッツの初吹込みは１９４３年末、彼が１６歳の時ジャック・ティーガーデン楽団で吹き込んだSt. James Infirmary(軍用レコードのAFRS盤）とされています。 １９３９年当時のグッドマン楽団に彼が登用されていた可能性はなかったと理解していますが、いかがでしょうか。

[@伸一佐藤-h7e]

１９３９年では、スタン・ゲッツはまだ１２歳なので。さすがにグッドマン楽団には参加してはいなかったとおもますが、オーベイビーが録音された１９４６年なら参加の可能は十分あります。以前手に入れたグッドマンのエアチェック盤に入っていた１９４６年録音となっていたラッキーでは、けっこう逞しい音色でソロを取ってます。未だ彼のスタイルが定まっていなかったのではないかと思われます。他のｔｓ奏者にも思い当たる人がいないので、スタン・ゲッツではないのかなー?と思うのですが、そうあって欲しいなーと個人的に思ってます。
