Benny Goodman was a clarinetist and bandleader who played swing and bebop jazz. He led one of the most popular dance bands in the 1930s and 1940s, and was known as the "King of Swing." This 1952 release came at a time when Goodman was still actively recording and performing, though his peak popularity had passed.
