Synopsis

Product Description

May 30th, 2009 was the centennial of Benny Goodman's birth. Still a household name more than two decades after his death and nearly 75 years after he became known as "The King of Swing," Goodman not only launched the swing era when his band caused a sensation at the Palomar Ballroom in 1935, but arguably he still ranks as the greatest jazz clarinetist of all time. Despite his admiration of Benny, Dave Bennett has his own voice and only sounds like Goodman when he wants to.

"I love this CD! I've been lucky enough to get to know Dave and see him play multiple times. If you love Benny Goodman and Pete Fountain then you will love Dave Bennett as well. He has gorgeous tone and amazing technique. I listen to this CD over and over and it never gets old!"

"I saw this gifted young man live at Ocean Shores Dixieland Jazz Festival a couple of years ago. He is nothing short of incredible. I think he was born with a clarinet in his hands. Check out his web site [...]. I wish he spent more time on the west coast. He won't disappoint."
