Music reviews of One Night Stands

Music Review: Rare Goodman Bop-era airchecks
Rating: 5 Stars

First off, there is absolutely no problem with the audio quality of this CD. It is taken from pristine radio transcriptions, with no pops, hiss or any other extraneous noise. The sound balance is typical of late-40s radio broadcasts and if you are a collector of vintage jazz you will have no problems with this set; I have no idea what the other reviewer (probably a digital kid who would like "Wizard of Oz" soooo much more if the whole thing was in color) is talking about. As for the music, these broadcasts, preserved by AFRS, give us the opportunity to hear Benny's short-lived '48-'49 bop-oriented aggregation, featuring Wardell Gray on tenor sax and Buddy Greco on piano and vocals. The March 22, 1949 set is a mix of small-group bop and somewhat progressive big-band charts and is the better of the two. The "1946" set actually dates from 1948 since Patti Page is plugging her then-hit "Confess." Patti sounds intimidated in Benny's presence at this early point in her career, although she sang with western Swing bands in her teens and sounds great on her jazz-oriented albums with Pete Rugolo, so this set is not as interesting although Patii Page fans will enjoy hearing these rare early recordings. I have given this 4-star disc 5 stars to counter-balance the earlier review.

Description of One Night Stands

This CD presents two complete Live 1946 radio broadcasts for the 'One Night Stand' show featuring the inimitable Benny Goodman And His Orchestra with Patti Page and pianist Teddy Wilson at Frank Palumbo's Click Club in Philadelphia and with vocalist/pianist Buddy Greco at The Hollywood Palladium. Seven years had passed since Benny was anointed The King Of Swing at his 1939 Carnegie Hall Concert and it is easy to see how the band has developed and become more confident. A collectors item.
