Whether you've just discovered Benny Goodman recently or been a fan of his as long as you can remember (for me it's about 40 years), this compilation of clips, interviews, stills and performances will be a very intriguing look at the man and his music, why they were inseparable and the influences he had on those who worked with him. There is material to be seen which gives a good insight into various aspects of the B.G. culture, for example: the beginnings of the Swing phenomenon, how Lionel Hampton managed to hit those vibes so rapidly, the quiet way in which Goodman broke down racial barriers, the inevitable clash between Gene Krupa & Goodman, his intolerance for imperfection, the impact of the Carnegie Hall concert and so on. (In one scene, the single overhead microphone used to preserve that historic concert can be seen clearly). Unless you have already read everything about B.G. ever written, seen all the available footage and heard all his recordings, this DVD is highly recommended. The sound and picture probably could not be better. My only criticism, typical for this kind of documentary, is that there aren't enough complete performances but in this case I would say there are enough clips to give a good overall impression of the trio, quartet and orchestra.
