Remembering Benny Goodman at 100
Benny Goodman, the King of Swing, was born on May 30, 1909.
To mark the occasion, WCKR-FM (89.9 FM in NYC) is in the midst of a multi-day Benny Goodman Festival. They started a week ago and are in the midst of playing his recordings from 1926 until his death in 1986. Today (Memorial Day) they are in 1947 so we still have a chnace to enjoy the music over the next few days.
To hear the likes of Teddy Wilson, Peggy Lee, Tyree Glenn - forget about Goodman himself - is a real pleasure.
Listen in - if you get the chance.
And, thanks to WKCR.
