 Prelude Fugue and Riffs

Next year I am playing the Bernstein piece mentioned above and wondered if anyone knew of any recordings other than the Goodman one I have which are as fine?

There is a good version by Sabine Meyer on her homage to Goodman recording.

The Goodman recording is the benchmark that all others strive to match.

The next most exciting and impressive playing is from John Bruce Yeh with the DePaul University Jazz Ensemble:

The Stoltzman recording is just a little too perfect, with not enough abandon. The winds of the London Symphony (needless to say) are fabulous...GBK

How difficultd is the piece?

I want to do a recital tribute to Benny Goodman. I want to play the "Bennys' Gig", and a some Benny's songs. Do you know about other music can I do?

1) You could write a lift from the original 1939 Bluebird recording
of Sing, Sing, Sing (tune runs 8:36 on my CD player) and plug in
your own Krupa cadenza/duet.

2) Transcribe Benny's part/cadenza and perform it as a "repertoire"
piece inserting itnto any standard published jazz band
arrangement.

3) Got an arranger and bodies? Pen a 8-12-minute medley using
traditional/exact instrumentation. Use signature tunes/theme
songs like, Let's Dance, Bugle Call Rag, One O'Clock Jump,
Goodbye, After You've Gone, Moonglow, then maybe Sing, Sing,
Sing as the closing barnburner.

A lot of cool stuff you can do with the right musicians and support.

The John Bruce Yeh CD mentioned by GBK is produced by Reference Recordings. I went to their web site and found that it was less expensive to buy from them than through amazon.com. If you don't mind the wait, the slowest shipping -- 4th class mail? -- is free. Also, if you buy more CDs from them at the same time there is an additional small discount (which offsets the California sales tax).

I was unable to complete the order on my browser, but used their 800 number and made the order over the telephone.

Other than as a new customer, I have no connection with Reference Recordings.

Bejay:
The version on "homage to Benny Goodman" is played by Wolfgang Meyer, Sabine's brother.

Does anyone know if a piano reduction has been done for this piece?

Thanks,
