Gee, wonder what a "true" Benny Goodman version of the Copland might be? Is the one we've been listening to for years... faked? Wow! all this time, it has sounded so good. No, not boring at all. Exciting every time I hear it. Maybe something's wrong with me.
Oh, maybe I have it now. The implication is that BG was a "one-trick pony," whose style was incapable of excellence except in a swing milieu. Aha. Well, on that matter, my position is the same as that of Bela Bartok,
Regards,
John
