Just received the news in the Mosaic Newsletter: View this email with images Add to Address Book Forward To A Friend August 16, 2017 Limited Editions Back In Stock! Classic Columbia and OKeh Benny Goodman Orchestra Sessions (1939 - 1958) Try to describe the Goodman sound of jazz? Easy: Pure Swing. The big band he organized for the "Let's Dance" radio program over NBC in New York eventually matured into the locomotive that barreled through the country to its famed and often told moment of discovery and success at the Palomar Ballroom in Los Angeles. The swing band delivered to the youth of America a new voice that was hot, cool, progressive and inventive. In that spirit, Mosaic Records is proud to present the Classic Columbia and OKeh Benny Goodman Orchestra Sessions (1939-1958) - a treasured collection of seven CDs, spanning nearly 20 years of Goodman's musical life, from the late 1930s when his popularity was already well established, throughout the 1950s when Benny would assemble the cream of musicians of the mainstream jazz world to be, even if it were just for one session, the Benny Goodman Orchestra. "My copy arrived late last night and I immediately opened it. Four hours later I was still exploring the wonders of this set, still awed by the brilliance of Benny Goodman and his early 1940s orchestras. Virtually no other ensemble of the time - apart from Ellington's - managed to combine such a sense of adventure with respect for its own heritage. You hear the band go from the almost avant-garde Eddie Sauter arrangements to the familiar sound of the Fletcher Henderson charts with no loss of enthusiasm or conviction. " - Customer Review
