Columbia Records had so neglected most of its classic jazz catalog, in terms of both the frequency and quality of reissues, that it was not a huge surprise when this combination of two LPs on one CD appeared on the Collectables label in 2000 -- the 75 minutes of music here represents some of the prime work of Benny Goodman's favorite arranger, Fletcher Henderson, and his best arranger, Eddie Sauter, and it sort of pays for itself with the opening track (in the Henderson material, no less), a stomping rendition of "Honeysuckle Rose" featuring a hot solo by guitarist Charlie Christian. The nine instrumental cuts from the Henderson album, dating from 1939 and 1940, are augmented with a trio of new vocal numbers featuring singer Helen Ward and dating from 1953, but the producers have been very successful at matching the sound in the numbers from across 14 years, and the personnel are careful to match their playing. The Sauter-arranged sides are more surprising and challenging instrumentally, and include Peggy Lee or Helen Forrest on vocals on a handful of tracks. The production is excellent overall, and there's no reason that this material couldn't have been part of Sony's Legacy reissue line, except for the general neglect of the Goodman Columbia library. ~ Bruce Eder

Double Your Big Band Pleasure
Music Lover: Chris Hawkins from
Portland, OR US -- January, 18, 2004
This double CD package contains an outstanding sample of swingin' tunes by the Benny Goodman Big Band from 1939 thru 1952. The arrangements and performances are a pleasure, and they demonstrate why Benny's band was a favorite of the times. Great instrumental and vocal performances from a legendary big band!
GREAT GOODMAN
Music Lover: melvin ritter from
Pearland, TX -- September, 22, 2003
The two vinyl albums came out in the early 50s on Columbia; I have had the Henderson album since, but never owned the Sauter although the songs and arrangements of the Sauter I had heard, I remembered very clearly. Especially the marvelous track of Love Walked In. This re-issue CD is GREAT. This is Benny Goodman at his best with wonderful sound. This is Goodman as probably few have heard or remember, truly great orchestral arrangements a la Sauter and many of the Henderson ones as well.
