PLAYLIST for MAY 27, 2009

BENNY GOODMAN: The great clarinetist, composer and bandleader was born on May 30, 1909, so tonight we are celebrating the centennial of his birth. According to Tom Lord’s JAZZ DISCOGRAPHY, Benny was recorded 1,011 times as a musician, including 831 times as a leader, so to bring this vast career into focus, I’ll be choosing 27 cuts from the 68 sessions that Benny Goodman and guitar innovator Charlie Christian made together between August 19, 1939 and June 11, 1941.

At the end of this program, we’ll give you a taste of John Stetch and Dave Douglas, who will be appearing on the opening night of the Ottawa International Jazz Festival on June 25.
