Benny's Fun Orchestra

"This is a wonderful little pastiche from the beginning of the swing era. Benny and his bunch seem to romp and jump through these broadcast pick-ups with all the verve of cat on a hot tin roof. The re-mastering from these old air-checks is superlative and the quality is ten times better than from your old Zenith with all the knobs. Helen Ward sounds youthfully pert with that vivaciousness that helped Benny's early vocals swing. Indeed, this should be a part of any Benny Goodman collection and, for that matter, any collection of the early swing era."
