I started liking big band music at age 12, during 1974, and still like it...Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller are my faves. I watched the Lawrence Welk Show when I was in grade school.
I could copypaste everything upto that Lawrence welk and it would be perfectly true for me as well (I'm scandinavian so we didnt have that show and we have another school system...)
@@monicabella7894I hope I read that wrong and you men's they aren't because they aren't. Swing and Big Band is still very much alive all over the world.
@@monicabella7894 golden age sure. But we still have enough if it left to honor the greats, make new music and dance. That's worth something. Seems you're angry or something so I'll leave this here. Go find some joy somewhere
@Julius Songling Jazz in the modern day is often mixed with hip-hop. Its cool shit. So many people trying experimental stuff, it isnt 40s swing stuff, but cool.
You are very stupid and narrow minded for thinking that. If a person truly loves music he doesnt discriminate. If you listen exclusively to jazz (blues, swing music etc) then u are probably some sad and confused teenager. Or u're a grown person who refuses to acknowledge progress and evolution (which is way sadder). And before you accuse me of being some rap fan ill go ahead and say that i play 3 instruments and started studying music very early with classical. And i enjoy rahmaninov or chopin same way i enjoy 50 cent, rammstein and electronic music. The world of music is almost limitless. Can you imagine having every single food and meal at your disposal and only eating 1 of them day after day. Just because you are used to something and that something is enough for you, doesnt mean u arent missing out. (i hope i didnt offend you, but maybe i did and it made you think. anyways these are just words, but i wanted to deliver that message)
@@avetik32 😂 It's just my opinion man. If I don't like rap, than I don't like it. You don't have to like every music to be a music fan.😂😂 I like this kind of music and someone else likes an other kind of music. I hope I don't sound mean now, but please mind your own stuff.
Chicken :I nah all good, it’s just the way you phrased your comment “who needs rap or dubstep”. Well people do lol. And I’m not saying you have to like rap or any other genre, I’m simply pretty sure you didn’t explore much.
My late mother, who grew up in that period, met the young soldier who was dancing in this video. She said he was one of the funniest guys she ever met.
The trombone soloist is Miff Mole by the sound of it. He is the second trombonist from left. Goodman had stocked his band with oldtimers or the physically unfit who were exempt from the draft, which is why Stacy was back and also Hymie Schertzer (the chubby saxist with the receding hairline). I believe it's Dave Barbour on guitar.
MUS 300! 1) Benny Goodman (clarinet), Gene Krupa (drums, but I don't know if he's in here anywhere); unfortunately, I can't tell who else is with him. I'd like to know who plays the trumpet solo. The rest of the quartet is not with him in this film clip. 2) Swing/Big Band 3) Ragtime (sped up) 4) Benny Goodman is one of my all-time jazz musicians. I just love his hot jazz swing action! He and his orchestra had so much energy in their music. Why does the pianist look like Gary Cooper?
Krupa by the early 40s already had his own Big Band, and he made a few movies. It is amazing how many musicians in Benny Goodman's Band either became band leaders themselves or simply great individually on their own. The man had an eye for talent.
Great as always! This record is too fast, it should be in Bb-flat, you can see the fingerings, this one sounds a minor second higher in B-natural, but ok, its a remix!-)
That's Boyd Raeburn on bass sax. I've never found out why Goodman had him in his group (Boyd tended to run his own bands), and I don't think he was there very long. And indeed that was the only instance of Goodman using a bass sax.
Not bad, the only trouble is, they portray the whole band as White, but that was far from the truth. And it was Black man Fletcher Henderson who wrote most of Benny's arrangements (and who arguably started Jazz back in the early 1920s).
Oh, Benny Goodman was colorblind. His band was integrated...., but Hollywood was NOT. This was primarily true because Southern States had segregation laws. So movie theaters in Southern States would only air movies if white performers only performed with white performers, and if black performers such as the Nicholas Brothers and Dorothy Dandridge or Cab Calloway only performed on stage with each other in the same screen shots. If there were separate screen shots, then blacks and whites could perform in the same movie in those separate screen shots, but very rarely with each other.
Most Swing/jazz bands in the 1930s and 1940s did not care about Race. Also Benny Goodman was Jewish, a group that also faced a lot of discrimination in those days.
@@coleparker in 1943 it was. The band had been scaled down becuse of the draft and increasing travel restrictions. Benny had recently married and become a father, he had bought a large estate and was sick of rehearsing, so before long he would give up his band and relax for a couple of months.

For 1974 Christmas I asked my parents to get me Benny Goodman's greatest hits album. I still play it!
Just watching Benny bounce around, jammin' on that clarinet... Makes me wish big bands weren't so dead.
But they aren't tho

@@hectornaranjo9910 For your info: The Golden age of Big Bands including naturally Jazz is GONE and will never come back!

@@monicabella7894 you're watching it on TH-cam? Classical ain't dead either.
Who else fell in love as soon as Benny did this 0:08
How can one not love Benny just by hearing him play
Eu amo esse benny
Who needs Rap and Dubstep when we have 1940's Swing and Jazz?

The 30s also very important!
I love how Benny gets into it and starts bouncing up and down like a child. its great

Arthur Walsh
@@xrayqqq Ah, thank you
Another great oldie, thank you for sharing
Great selection by Benny.. Late Night Chicago Radio with Denny Farrell

BENNY GOODMAN. ¡ QUE TALENTO !
Now that's some good music!
My old boss Lee Castle blowing the Trumpet solo.
every time i end up watching this video i cant shake the feeling that this guy really needs to pee 0:20 (pun intended, if u caught it)
Lovely music and video ..
Excellent
Those wild kids!!!!
Definitely one of the best
When 'Bop' exploded on the scene, he was almost forgotten about.
MUS 300!

The pianist was Jess Stacy and the drummer was Louis (Louie) Bellson

Lee Castle, Trumpet
@@dovbarleib3256 At that time Krupa had no band of his own. He had served a jail sentence (drug related) and was with Tommy Dorsey for a while.
good beats
Great as always! This record is too fast, it should be in Bb-flat, you can see the fingerings, this one sounds a minor second higher in B-natural, but ok, its a remix!-)
Corrigindo o comentário antes produzido, ... Era a época dos grandes, e também das grandes orquestras, etc., maneco Rio Grande do Sul - Brasil.
Jess Stacy on piano.
Lee castle on trumpet?
FYI this clip is taken from the movie The Silver canteen 👍
Anyone knows who Arthur Walsh is dancing with?
If your lady says, "Gimme some skin" & you reply with, "What's that?", it means you're going home early pal .....& alone.
Como já disse antes, era a época ul - Brasildos grandes, e também das grandes orquestras, etc. maneco -Rio Grande do S
"Do your eyes bother you, cause their killing me"
We have to keep that line in mind ...
Yes it was
Lee Castle on trumpet. I'm curious about the bass sax player - it's not an instrument that Goodman usually had in his bands.
Yup, I immediately recognised Lee.
That's Boyd Raeburn on bass sax. I've never found out why Goodman had him in his group (Boyd tended to run his own bands), and I don't think he was there very long. And indeed that was the only instance of Goodman using a bass sax.
@@bentdrum That was Joe Rushton on the bass sax, not Boyd Raeburn.
Who cannot be disturbed by this???
How did this ever go out of style
Its not. 😀
Супер
That girl is cute
oh god that acting ...
I feel sorry for kids today, they have no idea what good music is!
Oh im 12, and I even have a record on this for my record player. I love this music!! Listen to it all day!
Who were the black dancers?
51 sec - Mr. Rogers on Piano
Uh, Try Jess Stacy
Terrible acting but great music, lol. What movie is this from?
👍🔥🇷🇺
