Chuck Redd and company pay tribute to Benny Goodman (1909-86) with a survey of the clarinet virtuoso and bandleader's mid-30s rise to prominence in the period as The King of Swing. They start off with a choice selection from the Goodman orchestra's triumphant 3-week engagement at Los Angeles' Palomar Ballroom beginning on August 21, 1935
Benny! is one of 6 OFAM 2019 concerts presented twice:
    Matinee: Fri, Jul 26 - 1:00 pm
    Evening: Sat, Aug 3 - 8:00 pm
-- which is often marked at the official beginning of the Swing Era -- and conclude with a selection from Goodman's historic concert at Carnegie Hall on January 16, 1938. Both big band and small group arrangements will be featured, as well as some seminal Fletcher Henderson arrangements and vocal features originally recorded by Peggy Lee and Martha Tilton, as well as, of course, the iconic "Sing, Sing, Sing".
