In keeping with my efforts to bring you some big band sounds of the 1940s, I bring you now, Benny Goodman & His Orchestra " Bugle Call Rag " from wartime 1943! This is what my Mom & Dad danced to back then... how about yours"

"This is a rare OLDIES video with MR BENNY GOODMAN & HIS ORCHESTRA ( from the film " Stage Door Canteen " ! Benjamin David "Benny" Goodman[1] (May 30, 1909 -- June 13, 1986) was an American jazz and swing musician, clarinetist and bandleader; widely known as the "King of Swing".

In the mid-1930s, Benny Goodman led one of the most popular musical groups in America. His January 16, 1938 concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City is described by critic Bruce Eder as "the single most important jazz or popular music concert in history: jazz's 'coming out' party to the world of 'respectable' music."

Goodman's bands launched the careers of many major names in jazz, and during an era of segregation, he also led one of the first racially-integrated musical groups. Goodman continued to perform to nearly the end of his life, including exploring his interest in classical music." From the YouTube Channel "JUSTASITTINANDAROCK".

I hope you enjoy it!
