Benny Goodman: Sing Sing Sing









Benny Goodman - 
that driving drum beat, that wailing wall of horn:
'Sing, Sing, Sing' is one of the jazz tunes of the 1930's!
Benny Goodman, an American hipster and swing bandleader made this title, 
composed by Louis Prima in 1936, to an unforgettable tune 
when he gave his legendary jazz live concert on this cold evening 
of the 16th January in the 
famous New Yorker Carnegie Hall in 1938.
Gene Krupa on drums, with a beat reminding on 'Jungle Music',
Harry James on trumpet and the mesmerising piano solo from Jess Stacy,
improvised from the moment Goodman unexpectedly nodded to him,
and finally the striking solo from Goodman on the clarinet
 make this title so absolutely capturing, energetic and legendary!
