Benny Goodman, clarinet; Lionel Hampton, vibes; Teddy Wilson, piano; Gene Krupa, drums. With George Duvivier on bass. Hey, that Lionel Hampton's gotta be the King of Swing!
If this doesn't get to you, you "ain't" able to touch. My father was one of the first white men to play blues and jazz with black bands in the Chicago area, in the 20's,.. with some greats, When I see this integration of fantastic musicians I get goose bumps. Fantastic, isn't it!

I was 13 YRS OLD just a punk wanting to play drums and my mom took me down to the music store where Gene Krupa was holding a drum demo for slingerland.. i saw him play and became hypnotized by his style.. after my mom ran up to Gene and asked if he could talk to me.. he came up to me and asked.. so you want to play drums eh? i nodded yes. he then led me to his drumset.. he sat me down and said "show me what you got maaan" i was so nervous and i played the sing sing sing rythym.. he smiled and bobbed his head and said yeah swing it.. swing that solo.. i let loose and gave him what i had... after he shook my hand and said "listen son.. you got it.. its rough.. but i hear it in there.. and it gonna come out.. NEVER give up.. hear me?.. you got it. keep playing.. get it out and make it move.. your doing great and he gave me his sticks.. im 68 yrs old.. still got those sticks.. and a picture of 13yr old me and him.. and im still playin.. getting it out... Gene was a class guy.. and a great influence.. to many drummers..

Sure hope you reached 76 - I'm in my 80s and I still love Benny. Saw him at the Albert Hall in 1970 and when he announced he was about to play "Don't Be that Way" I said "Oh that's wonderful, a beautiful tune" not realising that it was heard all over the Hall. Benny looked down at me and "Said thank you, I'm so glad you like it". Everyone had a good laugh.

This is the first and only performance of the original Benny Goodman Quartet On TV. Benny Goodman On Clarinet, Lionel Hampton On Vibraphone, Gene Krupa On Drums, Teddy Wilson On Piano. Also featuring with The Quartet Is George Duvivier On Bass. Recorded October 23, 1972, Philharmonic Hall, Lincoln Center New York. Gene Krupa was suffering from leukemia and died the following year, on Oct. 16 1973, but you'd never know that he was in pain once he started playing.

I "discovered" Benny Goodman in 1951 when I bought the 2 disc (331/3) recording of his 1938 Carnagie Hall Concert. I was the tender age of 15 and mama was I hooked. Couldn't get enough of that wonderful stuff. I'll be 76 in 3 weeks, the Good Lord willin', and these great musicians have thrilled me non stop all these years. When each passed I mourned. But I still get chills every time I hear that incredible jive. "Scuse me I just tapped my right shoe off and my sock's about to follow. Mercy!!!

I had the great honour to listen to Lionel Hampton in the nineties in Munich, at Gasteig - Hampton was already beyond his 80ies and came over witha big band. He played the vibes like a young chap and simply enthousiasted the audience. It is a joy to listen to this kind of music over and over and it will not lose its magic even after decades.

In spite of their occasional squabbles, Gene and Benny had a unique musical chemistry, and BG knew it. Thank you so much for posting this. It's every bit as magical as I remembered.
