Benny Goodman Quartet - Avalon download song

The only thing that isn't timeless about this wonderful video is Doc Severinsen's ridiculous outfit.

Teddy Wilson is soo cooool! Gene Krupa can really bang those toms!

Genius.......I can´t stand my heart thrill ........

You are correct. I researched my own mistake and you are correct. BG, Krupa, Teddy Wilson on Piano and Lionel Hampton on Vibes. Mea culpa.

Wow, I'm embarrassed to say, I've just discovered these guys. Watching Ken Burns "Jazz" and I got to the Goodman quartet part and loved---so great to see they did it in their sixties too! This and Satchmo are my favs. Wonderfull music.

This is my favorite kind of music and they are my favorite small group of all time. I met Benny once in NYC and he was kind and courteous to a young fan bugging him for an autograph, which he gave with a smile.

glad i lived long enough to hear this. thanks boys.

I feel good to be a clarinet player after watching this.

these guys had fun!!! :-) and me too!!!

The best Swing Benny Goodman all Time

The great Quartet,masters all,  Goodman, Wilson Hampton and Krupa.Even with Gene close to the end of his life and ill, the vibrant swing sound is still there with all the excitement. Say as you wish,these had no equal.  Don

Here is one of America's best quartet's ever! And at this point in their careers they were more or less semi-retired. At the height of their game, they were untouchable. Krupa was one of my inspirations to study drums and fall in love with jazz. Thanks for the upload.

Wonderful...great players all who personified swing. Miss you Benny, miss you Gene.

When Benny passed on I felt very sad. He and his boys had been doin' it for me since I "found them" in 1950. But he and the original Swing guys of the 30's and 40's gave us music that (if you dig it and you have a pulse) just continues to lay me out. I'm old and in the way now but you put that music near me anytime and the bottom of my shoes are wearin' out what's ever underneath. One amazing thing about Benny, no matter who played with him the sound was the same. He elevated their game.

What the rest of lineup can do, we already know from decades back!

besides making great music they're having FUN!!they've played these tunes so many times & they are never stale-something always new & different!

Shame on Doc Severinsen not to acknowledge the great George Duvivier on bass.

Heard this first when I was a little guy in the 50's. Still rings true with me.

Swing Royalty. Definitive.
