Free Music Notes for 16 Most Requested Songs

Free Music Review: Excellent music, mediocre sound quality
Hit: 3 Stars

If you're new to Benny Goodman, I would recommend a boxed set or double CD in order to get the full flavor of his music. This disc is skimming the surface of his great catalogue and the sound quality is average, at best. The remastering of these songs is sub par, especially on the vocal tracks like "Why Don'tcha Do Right?" The live songs from the Carnegie Hall '38 concert are similarly flawed and sound better on other CD's. It's hard to hear Krupa's magnificent percussion and if you aren't hearing Gene, you aren't experiencing the magic of the man or the band.

A Benny neophyte would be well served by this standard "Greatest Hits" package but again, I caution you on the sound quality.

16 Most Requested Songs Poster

While many greatest hits collections are satisfied with recapitulating bestsellers, this is a thoughtful selection of some genuine highlights from Benny Goodman's Columbia recordings, giving real perspective on the years when he virtually defined the swing era. He was as great a talent scout as he was a clarinetist, and fine performances by Lionel Hampton, Cootie Williams, Harry James, and Teddy Wilson abound. "Flying Home" is heard in the sextet version with the brilliant Charlie Christian on guitar, while the hit "Why Don't You Do Right?" launched Peggy Lee's career. Four tracks come from Goodman's Live at Carnegie Hall 1938, and they're all extended performances, climaxing with the 12-minute version of "Sing, Sing, Sing," Gene Krupa's driving tom-toms defining the excitement of the era. The CD extends to the 1950s to include lesser-known gems such as the later sextet version of "How Am I to Know?"--a lovely ballad setting for Goodman. --Stuart Broomer
