Today is the 74th anniversary of the first recording session of the Benny Goodman Sextet, featuring Charlie Christian.
In New York, they laid down "Flying Home", "Rose Room", and a great version of "Stardust."
Incidentally, the drummer for the session, Nick Fatool, was also the drummer on the first Artie Shaw Gramercy 5 recordings the following year.

Richard -
You were 14 when those tracks were laid down 74 years ago? And I thought I was an old fart. . . .

We had a great Goodman tribute to this event Monday in Wilmington NC at the university.

Us old timers remember the good stuff!

Richard,
I was born almost 33 years AFTER that recording session, and all I can say is...I respect and am grateful for your generation's taste in music.
Funny story: just a few days ago, my wife heard me practicing and burst in saying "you sound great today!"
"Thanks," I said, sheepishly. I was playing Benny's version of "Memories of You"--the first thing I ever transcribed as a kid (and long before I'd heard the names Rose, Klose, or Baermann).
Eric
