Benny Goodman - Stompin' At The Savoy download song

I wonder if Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw ever had a contest, to see who could play their clarinet the best?

this  is  the  most  wonderful  music  I  ever  heard,  I  would  spent  hours  and  hours  listening  this,  unfortunately  I'm  finding  it  very  hard  to get his  cds .

So much more refined that Chick Webb's version. This is MUSIC!

I heard this today on Boston's 740FM, the classic "oldies but goodies" station, and told someone that it was "Stompin' at the Savoy". I wanted to listen again to be sure and I was! I'm 70, a Baby Boomer who loves this beautiful music of days gone by. My parents(now deceased) danced to this and other Big Band favorites at the Totem Ball Ballroom that was in Norembega Park (Auburnadale, Mass.), sadly no longer in existence as it burned down back in 1967 and a Holiday Inn stands there now; the dances of yesteryear only a memory to those who knew of Norumbega Park (it, too, is long gone). Tender memories of my folks and the music they enjoyed and which I, too, love.

My grandmother spent every Saturday night at the Savoy. She grew up in White Harlem.

Had loved this piece of music for many years, without knowing the name of it. Before covid, I was on holiday and eating at a 30s style joint and it was playing, so I asked the waitress to find out who and what it was. Good stuff to listen to during isolation.

I just keep listening and listening to this fabulous music of my youth. Just how easy it is to listen to real swing - and how difficult it is to play it like that. I'm 74 but will keep trying for as long as I can pick up a pair of sticks

Miss the big band music.

Once you have tasted that type of music, well its like gourmet food! You can't get back to junk....

Woody Allen's Small Time Crooks brought my here!

My favorite goodman song. Anyone else?

Im 74 years old from Wales. And my father and I. Loved swing because he taught me how. And BG was the example to behold.. my kids, now in their 50s, also love this superb music as do my grand children's. Thank God for this Music and Sinatra.

What a beautiful song, I never tire of hearing it again and again.

Can't even imagine sitting in a booth with your girl, having a few drinks and listening to this music, dancing some. No wonder there are so many baby boomers. Mama said yes more than she said no.... Ha ! Love it.

Some how I love this peace.......

Gilda Radnor (sp) and Steve Martin. SNL 1970 something

I ca see myself just driving down a road with this on am radio back in the 40s
