[Dixielandjazz] Benny Goodman performed by 4BEAT6

[Rob & Carla Henneveld]

Dear Bill,

Thanks for the compliments. 4BEAT6 rehearsed for a whole year (!) on +/-
15-20 original Goodman arrangements. Besides this tey are all professionals
(well except the clarinet player Bernard Berkhout: he's a doctor....).

This rehearsals they did were complete madness. On the other hand this
showed that Benny Goodman, Charlie Christian, Lionel Hampton and the other
members were great musicians.

A new CD has just been released and is supported (sponsored) by one of the
greatest super markets of Holland !

Kind regards,
Rob Henneveld

Dear Rob,
When I read your enthusiastic email I said quietly to myself "Not 
another one. Why bother?"
But checked out the website anyway.
On their Home Page there is a musical link, presumably including some 
of the concert performance you mention.
I didn't time the music, but it runs for well over 40 minutes.
What a fine swinging group!
Not a BG Sextet clone, as I had assumed.
Thank you for the introduction.
Kind regards,
Bill.
