This was the best collection of Benny Goodman that I have heard. I have collected many Benny Goodman recordings and this has become my favorite.

GOOD OVERVIEW,
By S. Ferguson (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Benny Goodman (Audio CD)
The sound quality of this anthology is excellent, particularly considering most of the tracks are from the 1930s/1940s. The booklet could be more comprehensive and the track selection feels a little arbitrary, but the Goodman magic is still wonderfully evident on every track. Did anyone ever play so fluidly and so magically?

I was trying to find a CD that contained the original 78rpm version of "Oh Baby" by Benny Goodman. This CD has that version, and it was good to have it again, seeing as my 78rpm collection is long gone.

Tempo on "Oh Baby" is a little off,

This review is from: Essential Benny Goodman (Audio CD)
I believe that the version of "Oh Baby" on this disc may not be the originally issued take, because the tempo is slightly slower than the issued take (which appeared on the Columbia CD Benny Goodman Vol. III All the Cats Join In). Also, I seem to have heard that the master of the "issued take" is no longer in the Sony/BMG vaults.

This guy can play music. It doesn't matter how old you are, it is a pleasure just to listen to his music. Way ahead of the time and makes you just relax and enjoy. A Saturday morning and sipping on coffee... no need to go to a coffee shop to enjoy!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Well worth having,

Considering the quality available at the time the original material was recorded, the fidelity is excellent. Anyone looking for a solid intro to "The King of Swing" should get this.
