Benny Goodman on V-Disc

[thomastreichler]

I have a four-disc compilation of Benny Goodman on V-Disc issued on the Collectors'-Choice Music label. The discs contain small group and big band recordings, presumably recorded between 1943 and 1949. There is no information in the liner notes on the personnel and exact recording dates. Does anyone know of any discography of BG's V-Disc recordings? I would be very grateful for any help.

Most BG discographies ought to have it. I remember Bruyninckx' general jazz discopgraphy covers them (at least whatever had been reissued for non-V-Disc use by the time the discopgraphy was compiled).

I can't find it right now, but it seems like we had a thread on this a year or so ago comparing the Collector-Choice with the Columbia (2-disc) set, didn't we?

I'd assume that Russell Connor's BG on the Record: A Bio-Discography of Benny Goodman would have the information. You can get it pretty cheap from Amazon.

I purchased the book for a decent price via an amazon dealer; it has all the information I was looking for. By the way a great book with lots of additional information on the recording dates, backgrounds, BG and various band members. Thanks Greg.
