Swing-era virtuosity in small ensembles
A small but elite group led by Benny Goodman.
Known as the king of the clarinet, Goodman recorded this collection of works with a small combo rather than a big band. Each player's individuality stands out, and the interplay is enjoyable. The album is packed with dense performances that condense the essence of swing jazz.
