While the Swing era was over essentially over by the early '50s, clarinet king and bandleader Benny Goodman was still very active with small groups and big bands. Times had changed and Goodman strove to keep up with them. In the late 1940s and early '50s, Goodman made forays into bebop and into mainstream pop, but his heart was still in straight-ahead, danceable swing. While Goodman wasn't the trendsetter he was in the 1930s, his clarinet was still sharp and sweet, and he still knew how to surround himself with the best musicians. While not recommended for the casual fan, 1951-1952 will be rewarding for both Goodman fanatics and fans of post-WWII big bands.
