Less than 80 thousand views? This deserves millions of views and likes. It is one of the best performances by any jazz orchestra in decades. They are all excellent!!!

❤ Exactement..... La Formation de Mr Marsalis est toujours d'une parfaite , ingénieuse et respectueuse excellence . Lui même est un vrai virtuose. Un vrai bonheur!!!!

[@muzarewarri]

Fabulous performance. Loved all four of the clarinetists, each with their own styles. The whole band is wonderful. Re-creating this historic event, what a great idea.

Just watched this for the second time--What a feast of clarinet playing!! All the soloists did well, but my favorite was Anat Cohen.

[@wstewic]

I’m sure Benny likes this! From where ever he sits.

[@alanwitton5039]

This certainly swings!

[@ChannelMaster720]

This is So Good. It is suppose to sound like Benny Goodman and his Orchestra and it does. Every instrument is played so beautifully. I never saw Mr. Goodman in person, but without looking at this Tribute, I would think I was listening to him. The young woman on the clarinet with the young man playing vibs ( "I've Got Rhythm") are so great together!! SYLVIA in FL

[@agamemnonpadar5706]

I saw him in concert one time in his later years. It was a huge hall with a sound system for Rock concerts. But it was amazing how his clarinet was shining through the mushy sound and how inspired the musicians were by his presence. The guitar player that night was Philip Catherine, a musician from a much more modern era, who got a solo in each tune them played. Also what I enjoyed was that Benny Goodman was very engaged during the concert, visibly enjoying to play with that band, blowing the clarinet as powerful, swinging and elegant as in his younger years. And despite what you hear and read about him, at least that night, he was very friendly and communicative with the audience and musicians alike.

[@Alanpie314]

For the benefit of, I guess, "young people", back in the mid and late thirties Goodman's band was easily the most famous in the country, and he was widely known as the "King of Swing". Fifty years from now people will be saying "Michael Jackson was the 'King of Pop'? Really?"

Quick Note: The saxophone solo on "Blue Reverie" that you credited to Sherman Irby on alto sax is actually by Walter Blanding on curved soprano sax.

Merveilleux orchestre merveilleuse musique.et moment magique.puis je suggerer à la clarinettiste de grand talent de changer de coiffeuse,je suis du metier.si mignonne et pas mise en valeur.jolie robe à fleurs pourtant.❤

[@johnboyle6867]

Great virtuosity, but do we really need an up tempo from an up tempo. One can swing just as well with out a bpm that is so far out there the melody can't be fun and barely followed. Truly amazing musicianship.

Je viens de regarder des concerts de Benny Goodman et je suis désolée de dire que ce concert manque de swing même si j'aime beaucoup les concerts de JLCO d'habitude. Il y a quelque chose de trop intellectuel dans la démarche. Coup de chapeau pour Janelle Reichman qui a su capter l'esprit de Goodman. Je trouve que le guitariste James Louis Chirillo n'a pas assez joué alors que Goodman affectionnait particulièrement la guitare. Carlos Henriquez a l'air de s'emmerder par moment mais Dan Nimer est toujours aussi génial!

[@duckofmoun40280]

Hello! Je suis d'accord avec vous concernant le swing de l'orchestre de Benny Goodman, si on sait que son orchestre jouait de la musique pour être dansée, avec du rythme endiablé emmené par un Gène Krupa au sommet de son art. Ici, nous sommes en concert et le genre musical est plus méthodique, précis et sans emphase. J'ai apprécié la qualité d'interprétation des clarinettistes et le rôle discret de W. M.

[@freiretrompete1174]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@lesterwyoung]

Strictly speaking, "One O'Clock Jump" was not composed by Basie. It was put together as a head arrangement by the whole band. Buster Smith, the lead alto, was responsible for the main riff. It went by the name of "Blue Balls" until the band played a radio program and a new title had to be hurriedly thought up to be announced over the radio!

[@BrewskLitovsk]

Yep, it was a head arrangement. The main theme of "One O'Clock Jump" was something I heard on an earlier recording, but I unfortunately don't remember its title.

I think Fletcher Henderson was the really king.. and he was the Goodman´s arranger for some time.

Lol, why does Wynton look so depressed?

[@BrewskLitovsk]

Maybe because he wasn't there that night at Carnegie Hall, on January 16, 1938?

Not depresed. Only modest .... because Victor Goines does the presentation.

[@davebrubeck1489]

Janelle is an example of someone who masters all the things that she is supposed to but has no real feel for the music. Plays the notes not the music.

@@Matheus-iz8pb - Lost in translation. There is a difference between playing notes and playing music.
