Benny Goodman Revisited

Benny Goodman Revisited

On a sunny afternoon in that still beautiful Havana of the mid fifties, my old man brought an LP on a multicolor jacket with six pictures of a clarinetist with the heading: The Great Benny Goodman. The names HARRY JAMES, GENE KRUPA, TEDDY WILSON, LIONEL HAMPTON, and a few other great Jazz artists were highlighted in red, black and blue letters.
