In this double CD set we are presenting the best big-band work from the man who was arguably the greatest jazz clarinettist in the world – ever! Even the most devout followers of his principle rival, Artie Shaw, are regularly forced to admit that in terms of technique, inspiration and sheer excitement Benny Goodman bettered everyone. This 2 CD set is a selection of his big band classics so definitive that weathered Goodman aficionados will ruefully wish that they could once again hear them for the first time whilst new listeners will have no problem discovering their innumerable high spots.

Reviews:
"Readers will almost certainly be familiar with Goodman and his music. This 2CD set includes what purports to be his finest 48 recordings covering the period from 1934 to 1945, in all constituting a total playing time of 2 hours 35 minutes. The proverbial icing on the musical cake is provided by comprehensive notes regarding many of the performances from the esteemed Digby Fairweather... If swing music from this period is your 'thing', this is the album for you" Alan Musson, The Jazz Rag
