These sessions obviously predate his best-loved chart-toppers with Jack Teagarden, Billy Holiday, Red Nichols, Fats Waller, and in his own name; but they're nonetheless superb examples of hot jazz. So what if they were recorded over 70 years ago? Great jazz is timeless! It's exciting to hear for yourself the sensational early talent that would earn Benny Goodman a place in history.
His undeniable talents, hard work, and fortuitous cultural events propelled Goodman to the forefront of a new youth movement. The youth, as it turned out during the Great Depression, were the only people with the spare time, energy, and money to support such a movement. Goodman booked his bands in numerous NYC dance halls, performed weekly on NBC's "Let's Dance" radio show which canvassed the whole country, and arranged a nation-wide tour ending at the Palomar Ballroom in California. Many historians regard the frenzy that broke out that August 1935 night as the Swing Era's official beginning. Afterwards, he moved his band back to Chicago for a long engagement, continued his radio and film appearances, and then back to NYC's Pennsylvania Hotel. He was one of the highest profile, if not first, band leaders to integrate black musicians into his bands, and effectively balanced the tightly rehearsed and improvisational aspects of America's music. And to think he still had half a century to go.
Timeless Records was begun in 1975 to improve the availability of American jazz in Europe. It has since evolved into one of the truly great clearing houses for historic recordings. Each release features the highest quality audio reproduction, archival images, and educational liner notes. You no longer have to join a crazed collector club to hear what they're hearing. How ironic, that American jazz fans can now import their own source-texts from the Netherlands.
