Benny Goodman - Concert In Moscow, Hot & Special !

This concert is from a Benny Goodman band tour of Russia in 1962. The moment in which Nikita Khrushov stood up and applauded enthusiastically at the swing of Goodman and his band is famous.

Кто слушает джаз,тот и родину продаст! Пропагандоны,блин!

Good old jazz and swing luckily I have a grandma who loves jazz and swing

The newer pieces impress most as tildes the phenomenal sax section (well Phil Woods and Zoot Sims! - Woods is the magical lead alto) and the Bill Crow and Mel Lewis bass and drums team. Best Goodman since the Sid Catlett Cootie Williams band in 1941. Love my 2 album orgunial and only wish more was recorded of the originals and Joya Sheryll

Tapping my feet !

Benny Goodman's parents were from Kiev region, and he visited Ukraine with concert in the 60s.

Benny is playing great on this throughout, but the sidemen are a letdown at times. Sloppy and draggy, eg "One O' Clock Jump". Same for rhythm section. The feel ain't right. No wonder Benny got on their case. Sounds like the booze is flowing on some of these tracks.

This was performed by the talented Benny Goodman and his iconic orchestra. I was amazed at how great this recording had sounded. After all music 🎵 is the international language. 🎼🎶

Phil Woods killing the Alto on solos AND section work

In Russia the communists play you.

What great music by Benny Goodman

This sounds like someone else

I got to see Benny Goodman at least 3 times, he is a ONE of a kind musician my favorite period 1937-1945 his best mostly during this period.. I saw Parts of the Russian band a couple of months after he came back Zoot was gone but the band was fantastic.

Swing and early bebop are the most enjoyable forms of JAZZ for me....

Why did I get all the ads mid-song

WHAT a Concert!!!
Some new tunes for Benny...
But he did it well!!!
And WHAT a great orchestra......
WOOOOW!!

thats why he will always be THE KING OF SWING.

Mel Lewis was the drummer. He was featured on Sing, sing, sing and got a heavy hand from the audience. Benny didn’t play Sing, sing, sing anymore.

When a reporter asked Zoot Sims what it was like playing with Benny in Russia Zoot replied ' Every gig with Benny is like playing in Russia "

Mistrz!!!

swing swing !!!!! good music i love

10 commercials is quite a bit

A great musician was Benny Goodman, one whom history will never leave unnoticed. I simply revere this
guy.

Goodman had lost a lot technique by the early sixties but his ego was intact! Great band!

following this on my drums rite now.

I'm struck by the quality of these musicians... I mean, in every phase, top notch. And too... these arrangements are genius. Thanks for posting!
