The Best Of Benny Goodman | The King Of Swing | Sing Sing Sing And All The Hits

[@unclestuka8543]

[@delzworld2007]

The opening track, Sing Sing Sing, is one of the most enduring swing hits. It is made all that much better by Gene Krupa's unmistakable drumming. .... and of course Benny's clarinet. Even though this was from 84 years ago, it can still be heard and appreciated for its high quality.

[@greenwave819]

The clarinet was invented by Willie Humphrey. Just before (or maybe just after) he invented jazz music. That according to Willie himself of course. If you don't know to whom I'm referring, you haven't been around long enough.😂

I lived in SF in the 60’s the summer of love BS. Instead of being a drug addled follower I listened to KNBR radio and DJ Dave Niles who had a three hour show on weekends dedicated to the big bands. I learned all about them thanks to Dave Niles who passed just last year at 91. I’m forever grateful RIP Dave

[@cerberus6654]

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.

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...

I love this genre of music, the swing era, and its style of attire! In every era, as time passes, you can see the style of the 1930s/40s clothing making its way back, even in the music, as we can listen to original music artists from Michael Bublé, Harry Connick Jr. The Squirrel Nut Zippers, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the Brian Setzer Orchestra, bringing back a swing revival movement. Brian from 1980s The Stray Cats played a style of pop music called Rockabilly, which mixes 1950s-style rock and roll, blues music, and country music together. The Stray Cats' music is like the 1950s Rockabilly songs by Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins. The Brian Setzer Orchestra combined traditional swing with rockabilly and ska, leading to a renewed interest in swing music. Check out the artists and take a listen.

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.

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.'
