[Dixielandjazz] Benny Goodman - Fletcher Henderson

[Robert Newman]

Yeah, Stan, it was released twice on LP according to BG ON RECORD.    I have a cassette of it, probably taken from one of the LP's.    It's short, only ten numbers but they're longer than the usual 3 minutes because they're live.    The added stars were Buck Clayton, Johnny Smith, Lou McGarity, and Eddie Safranski.    The audience was quite enthusiastic and obviously so were Benny and the boys.  I'll send you a CD of it and I'll add a 1982 broadcast of a BG sextet at the Blue Note in 1982, in which Benny and the boys were also very enthusiastic.

So if you want it free send my your mailing address.
