[Dixielandjazz] Benny Goodman Centennial

[doctordubious at verizon.net]

It was also on last night, May 28, and I went. What a night. Not only great
clarinets, but the contrast in styles was rewarding. Buddy DeFranco (wasn't
he a mentor of yours, Steve?) very much more "modern" with "blocked
phrases". Wilber and Peplowski more fluid and lyrical ala Benny and Goines
with a harder edge and tone. Ted Nash also came from the orchestra and
contributed admirably.

Some interesting charts that I had not heard much before from when Benny
formed what they called "the new band" , I guess in the later '40's. Some
great Eddie Sauter and Mel Powell charts.

If this comes to TV, don't miss it.

Here's an event not to be missed. Hopefully they will make it available on
TV later this year. Some pretty good blackstick players are part of this
salute. Happy 100th Birthday, Benny.

Cheers,
