[Dixielandjazz] Benny Goodman 'gain

[Stan Brager]

Absolutely, Kymmi, Benny recorded "A Zoot Suit (For My Sunday Gal)" with Art
London (Lund) on the vocal on January 23, 1942. It was issued on Columbia's
OK label. It was quite a hit for Benny. The arranger was Mel Powell.

While you're on the subject of Benny Goodman, I heard that he once recorded
a song called "Zoot Suit".  Does anybody know any more about Benny and the
song, and if he did record something of that title?

Zoot Suit was a Mel Powell compositon that BG recorded in 1942.  It was on
the Okeh label. I believe it's in Eb if that helps.  My Little Cousin is on
the flip side.  Can't locate the 78 that's been buried in a dusty closet for
eons.  Anyone know who else besides BG and Powell is on the date?   Dick B
