Description from the Sleeve
 
"The music scene was dismal" wrote one critic describing the state of popular music in 1935 — just before the advent of Benny Goodman. For when Goodman arrived the Swing Era was launched and the scene changed for better and for sure. BG personified the new music. He became its principal spokesman and indeed more than any other man shaped its course. He not only created Swing but he made it and its more serious parent Jazz acceptable to a broad international audience. The Goodman story in all its aspects has been so thoroughly documented that we need not dwell upon it here. So let us instead examine the Benny Goodman selections at hand.
