1938 Vol. 2
Benny Goodman's orchestra epitomized the swing era at its commercial peak and artistic heights. A virtuoso clarinetist, Goodman led one of the most popular and musically sophisticated big bands of the 1930s, breaking racial barriers through his integrated ensembles. This 1997 Classics compilation captures performances from 1938, when the band was in its prime, featuring soloists like Harry James on trumpet and Gene Krupa on drums. The music swings with infectious vitality—driving rhythm sections, punchy horn sections, and Goodman's clarinet leading the way. From uptempo swingers to tender ballads, these recordings showcase the big band's versatility. An essential document of swing era artistry.
