Anyway,did any of you listen the Columbia "1937 Airchecks" album? (OSL-180). Gene demonstrates here how he laid down the rhythm over the descending figures in "Avalon".
Gene actually DIED that same year–just watch him go,man,go! Always my hero,if I were to have any…When they call a swing tune on the bandstand,this is where I'll be! (In the drum chair).
Benny Goodman et ses " all stars " Ils étaient terriblement bons, ces 4 complices-là !!! Cette complicité, on la voyait très bien parce que, en pleine action, Goodman restait constamment en contact avec ses musiciens : ils
étaient également ses amis : ce groupe jouait avec des personnes parfaitement soudées : une machine extrêmement bien huilée et qui semblait tourner toute seule : résultat d'une entente exceptionnelle entre ces hommes, à leur top niveau depuis déjà trés longtemps. Ce n'est pas pour demain qu'on fera aussi bien !!! Quelle chance formidable d'avoir tous ces enregistrements !!! Ils ne mourrons jamais ces gars-là !!!
Does anyone remember the movie "Benny Goodman Story" wasn't here a bit in a restaurant where Hampton is working as a waiter and he does a vibe solo playing this tune for Goodman?

'The hot club of Cow Town'
has a good rendition of Avalon.
The only thing that isn't timeless about this wonderful video is Doc Severinsen's ridiculous outfit.
Krupa is freakin amazing!
The Beatles of their day (though they were not composers)
Oh man! All my Christmases have come at once here. Unbelievable.

Technically a quintet; they added a bass player but didn't need to with that famous rhythm section.
Never tire of hearing that one!
Monsters here. !!!!! unforgettable………
My question is ………..who is playing that mean string bass?
Not to take away from the outstanding playing but why is Gene sitting on what appears to be a trash can lol
If there's an afterlife, I bet fans are still arguing to see who's better: Artie or Benny!
Great Music by some of the greatest musicians ever. Lionel is one of the greatest vib musicians ever.
This quartet looks a lot like a quintet to me.
Genius…….I can´t stand my heart thrill ……..
they didn't call him the KING OF SWING for nothing. AMAZING.
Saw Goodman live twice and GKGseveral times .Wonderful times.
Thanks for this upload ! what a great performance by four of the greatest Jazz musicians really enjoyed it!
This was the #1 song the year I was born.
Love his quartet! Saw him live in SanDiego "Jazz At The Philharmonic " !!! One of the highlights of my life!
My father's favorite band of all of them
