Review

Combine this with the King of Swing's earlier-era Live at Carnegie Hall recording and you have not only Benny Goodman's two best works, but two jazz cornerstones. B.G. in Hi-Fi was recorded five years after the clarinetist had his last permanent big band (he'd work mostly with smaller combos from here on out), but all the players found on this disc are superb. And, though the big-band style may have been way past its prime in '54, Goodman certainly isn't. On tunes like "Get Happy"--one of the more spirited romps on this disc--he swings with vigor and topnotch playing. Eight cuts feature a big band; the remaining 12 are quintets. Four previously unreleased tracks (including a great rendition of "Ain't Misbehavin'" played by his quintet) are included. Excellent sound throughout, and some truly swinging, classic tunes. --Jason Verlinde
