Whle the song list was fantastic and the musicians were exceptional, the venue was much too big and the small audience was not very enthursiastic. Should have been at a locaton, like SF YOSHI's.Written on Oct 22 2009

I very much enjoyed the show. Eddie Daniels could have played more Goodman, but he still sounded great. And Jim Rothermel was in find form, both musically and with historical comments on the songs.Written on Oct 22 2009

Description
Born in 1909, Benny Goodman became one of the first instrumental superstars in jazz, an exceptionally gifted clarinetist and savvy bandleader who launched the Swing Era with a book of killer-diller arrangements by Fletcher Henderson, Benny Carter and Edgar Sampson. No reed player is better equipped to celebrate Goodman’s centennial than Eddie Daniels, a sensational clarinet virtuoso (and top-shelf tenor saxophonist) who may be the greatest living interpreter of the Goodman repertoire. Daniels is also an accomplished classical player who has thrived in big bands, particularly as a founding member of the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra. With more than two dozen albums to his credit, Daniels brings a modern sensibility to those classic tunes indelibly tied to the King of Swing. Bay Area clarinetist Jim Rothermel opens the show with his own take on Goodman’s huge legacy.
