Comment:

Every sound can be boiled down to a handful of names that define its essence. Country has its Hank and Johnny, rock has its Elvis and Chuck, and you’d better believe swing’s got Benny Goodman. Whether he was leading a big band with all guns blazing, or paring things down to the bare essentials with a small group of swingin’ sharpshooters, when Goodman grabbed the beat and swung it, it stayed swung. Besides blazing a trail for legions of big bands to follow, and kicking off a craze that was as fresh and frenzied as the rock ’n’ roll fever of the following era, he presided over a cabinet containing some of the heaviest hitters in jazz, from Gene Krupa to Charlie Christian. Summing up several decades’ worth of dazzling work is a daunting task, but we’ve been working overtime to cull Goodman’s undeniable standards and undercover classics for you, all in one swingin’ spot.
