| Benny Goodman - Roll 'Em (1942) |
 |
This clip comes from "The Powers Girl"
(1942). The arrangement appears to be the
Jimmy Mundy revision Benny commissioned in
1941 of the Mary Lou Williams classic,
originally immortalized by BG's '37 band.
Decimated by the WWII draft, this
transitional ensemble was trashed by critics
as one of Goodman's weakest...but six decades
later, Benny and the band sound awfully good
indeed! Bonus: Watch for George Murphy and
Dennis Day. ("The Powers Girl" also gave
moviegoers a relatively rare opportunity to
see Benny sans specs.)
