Liner Note Author: Loren Schoenberg.
This satisfying two-disc set contains 34 tracks worth of latter-day Benny Goodman recordings. Although swing, the movement for which Goodman was once the poster boy, was long out of the fashion by the late 1950s and early `60s (the period from which these recordings were taken), the clarinetist and bandleader plays with the same verve as he did in his heyday. Classics like "`Deed I Do," "A Fine Romance," and "Pennies from Heaven" pepper this excellent compilation of classic big band music.
