This review is from: Small Groups: Class of '39 (Audio CD)

A great collection of live Goodman recordings, taken from various broadcasts on the CBS "Camel Caravan" show, all throughout 1939. Teddy Wilson, Jess Stacy, Lionel Hampton and Charlie Christian are among the sidemen and, as you might imagine, these instrumental tracks are all really wonderful to listen to. A mellow, relaxed set that showcases some extraordinary musicianship, but that also has a nice little rhythm that can get you moving across the floor. Recommended.
