We think of big-band swing when we think of Goodman, but he greatly enjoyed playing in more flexible small groups, too, and that’s what we have here: a great-value, 70-track set of trio-through-septet performances from his heyday, most released by Okeh, Victor and Columbia. Benny’s musicianship really gets a chance to shine here, as do Teddy Wilson, Gene Krupa, Lionel Hampton, Charlie Christian, Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson…so many jazz stars here! Includes "Body and Soul," "Lady Be Good," "Dinah," "Tiger Rag," "Avalon," "Dizzy Spells," "Sugar," "’S Wonderful," "Slipped Disc," "Shine," "Ida," "On the Alamo," "Limehouse Blues," "Wholly Cats," "The Sheik of Araby" and more.
