5.0 out of 5 stars
Live performances spice up this reissue, October 13, 2007
This review is from: Trio & Quartet Showcase (Audio CD)
Primo, a firm in the Czech Republic, is the latest in a long line of recording companies to reissue the timeless music of Benny Goodman's trios and quartets. Goodman, pianist Teddy Wilson, drummer Gene Krupa and vibraphonist Lionel Hampton are featured on 38 tunes recorded between 1935 and 1938. This 2-CD set stands out in one respect and disappoints in another. The inclusion of some live sessions is a definite plus. The absence of any notes telling where they were recorded is a minus. Nevertheless, the live music and the price make this a good addition to any swing combo collection.
