Product description
Release date: 1958 Label: Columbia Ah, Benny Goodman, the King of Swing, bless his soul, taking his clarinet on a jolly jaunt to Brussels and delighting the locals with his toe-tapping tunes. Benny in Brussels is a live recording capturing Goodman at the peak of his powers, effortlessly skittering through classic jazz standards with the finesse of a seasoned showman. From the rollicking opener "Let's Dance" to the sultry seduction of "Stompin' at the Savoy", Goodman's band is a well-oiled machine, swinging with a swagger that would make even the most stoic of Belgians want to tap their feet. The live setting adds an extra spark to the performances, with the energy of the audience feeding back into Goodman and his band like a perpetual motion machine of swing. But it's not all high-energy hijinks on Benny in Brussels. Goodman also shows his sensitive side on the tender ballad "Body and Soul", his clarinet weaving through the melody with a bittersweet elegance that is truly heart-rending. Overall, Benny in Brussels is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado, capturing a master at work in his prime. So pour yourself a glass of your finest Belgian ale, sit back, and let Benny Goodman take you on a whirlwind tour of swingin' delights. You won't regret it.
